The base of Korean winter drinks, yuja cheong is a sweet citrus preserve made by thinly slicing yuzu citrus and mixing it with an equal weight of sugar, then letting it rest. It can be stirred into hot water as a drink or spread on breakfast slices.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the yuzu

15 min

Wash the yuzu thoroughly and slice it paper-thin, skin and all, removing the seeds.

2

Mix with sugar

10 min

Mix the sliced yuzu thoroughly with an equal weight of sugar in a bowl, drizzle with the lemon juice, and let it sit for 10 minutes until the sugar grains start to dissolve.

3

Transfer to a jar

5 min

Pack the mixture tightly into a sterilised jar, seal it, and store it in a cool place.

Reminder

Keeping the jar at room temperature for the first few days and giving it a swirl once a day speeds up the sugar fully dissolving. After a week you can move it to the fridge and keep it for months.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you cannot find yuzu, an equal mix of lemon and mandarin works instead; the flavour is a little more tart but still delicious.
