I followed this recipe to the exact letter but my persimmon tea does not appear nice & dark as the photo shows...my dried persimmons came from an Asian market-the only thing I could figure is that I am missing a step-I did some research & there is a mention of this recipe in 'Wiki-how' that has an extra step of clarifying the cinnamon/ginger mixture before adding the dried persimmons...there are a couple of variations of this recipe on the Internet that use brown sugar instead of regular sugar...this recipe does not specify which type of sugar so I used regular sugar...I will continue working with this recipe because I love the taste but would like a nice dark color instead of a yellowish color...
