Soak the dried longan for 30 minutes until softened, then rinse to remove any dust and drain. Bring 3 1/3 cups water (about 800 ml) to a boil, add the longan, and cook until it boils. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes, then add the rock sugar. Adjust sweetness to your taste.

Rinse the red dates and add them to the pot. Cook for another 2 minutes, then add the goji berries and cook for 1 more minute. Turn off the heat, cover, and let it steep for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, the soup should be warm (about 176°F/80°C). Ladle the soup into bowls, making sure to include plenty of broth. Place one salted cherry blossom (rinsed in warm water to remove excess salt) in the center of each bowl. Let it sit for 1 minute so the blossom softens and opens.
