Hi~ my name is Gina.
Have you ever tried "Citron tea"? this is called in Korea "yuja cha".(cha
means tea)
(I live in Korea ^^ ) This tea is my favorite.
Citron has three times more 'vitamin C 'than lemon.
So, Citron tea has effect on a cold and the aftereffects of the night drink.
You can make it to mix honey(or suagr) and sliced citron in the ratio 1:1.
And put it in the jar or bottle and seal up for 15days in the
refrigerator.(but, first one day in the normal temperature)

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.

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.

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.
