Since last year I have been reducing my caffeine intake. I switched my coffee to decaf and most of my tea is decaffeinated or herbal. The change has greatly improved my sleep quality and now I have a good energy level without needing multiple cups of coffee and the jittery feeling that comes with it. Chinese jujube tea is one of my favorite drinks and I can’t wait to share it with you....

Spices: Cajun seasoning, paprika, oregano and chilli flakes for extra kick. I prefer using a combination of spices to get the most flavor into the dish but if you have a cajun seasoning you like, feel free to use only that....

This recipe is very loosely based on a French Beurre Blanc sauce (an emulsified butter sauce) and delivers the creamiest, perfectly tangy sauce. It might take slightly longer than an easy lemon butter sauce recipe but the end result is so worth it....

Plus, when the weather is grey and gloomy I get to make comfort food....
