mr=|"Yujacha" (also spelled "yuja cha") is a Korean traditional tea made from thinly sliced "yuja" (
hangul : 유자, in Korean) with its peel and combined with honey or sugar. A tablespoon of "yucheong" (유청, thick syrup-like "yuja") stirred into a cup of usually hot water makes a beverage. The color is yellow and its form looks like marmalade. The "yuja" fruit itself has a strong sour and bitter taste, so Korean people make it preserved and sweetened for making tea. "Yujacha" can either be made at home or purchased in glass jars. "Yujacha" is used as a herbal remedy for the common cold and similar winter illnesses.Ingredients
