My favorite tea

Hello,

That's called "yuzu cha" in Japanese. That's not a tea at all, but I like it too.

You can do the same recipe with quince (I think quince has to be boiled a little). It's also believed to be good for sore-throat and tons of things. They say that for any fruit. That's probably only the effect of honey. I prepare my yuzu cha like marmelade (same weight of yuzu citrus and brown sugar, cooked 20 minutes), and it can be used imediatly or kept a few months. That can make a little present for friends.

I can buy jars of it prepared (sort of like a jar of lemon marmalade) at my local oriental market. Just add water and heat. And yes, it does not contain tea leaves or tea of any kind.

May I be serious? It sounds neat. I'll look for it. Michael

You'll see big jars labeled Citron or Quince tea. Honey is the sweetener. I have some unopened jars somewhere and never thought to use it as a marmalade.

It is good, and I occasionally drink it in the afternoon when I don't want something caffeinated. Keep the stuff refrigerated, though, or it will go bad. In Korean markets down here, I see the Sam Hwa brand and the Da Jung brand.

Sadly, I don't see citron for sale fresh around here ever, which is a shame since it makes a great marmalade and is good in fruitcakes and gingerbread cookies too.

Another interesting Korean tisane is the "ginger tea" which comes in little pellets. I rather like that in the afternoon as well.

(It is sort of that time of year though isn't it? I always associate The Sound of Music with Christmas...)

Not sure why exactly ... but the local radio station that plays Christmas music has "My Favorite Things" in the Christmas rotation. At least, they have for the last couple of years; they're not playing Christmas music yet this year.
