On a recent visit to North Carolina I had a great cocktail called a "Hot Date." It was made with jujube preserves (Chinese red dates?) and I've been looking for them ever since--and on line--to no avail. Can someone help with a NYC or mail order source?

Koreans drink a kind of jujube tea call dae-chu cha - it's kind of a dark reddish-black colour. It doesn't have any tea in it, it's more like a jam. Here's a link - If it's what you're looking for, try your nearest Asian/Korean supermarket.

I would add to nakji's post above that if it is anything like the citron "tea" it is meant to be mixed with water and does indeed have a jam like consistency.
