Yungja Cha

Yungja Cha

As the weather changes,  we are prone to catching colds or flu. This tea could be a big help. I first tried this in South Korea and just bought it from supermarkets but now that I’m already away, I have to make my own. Try it too!

Yungcha is the Hangeul (korean language) for Citron (lemon) and cha means tea.

Ingredients:

5pcs lemon, quartered lenghtwise & thinly sliced

1/4 warm water

3/4 honey

Procedure:

1. Combine water and honey.

2. Pour the mixture over the sliced lemon and mix.

3. Put in the jar. Close jar and let it stand for a day at room temperature. Refrigerate afterwards.

4. To make a tea, add a tablespoon of the lemon mixture  to 1 cup of warm water. Mix & enjoy!
