Simple Medicinal Yuzu Jam & Yuzu Tea
- 300 grams Yuzu
- 50 grams Sugar
- 150 grams Honey
- 10 grams Ginger
- Cut the yuzu in half horizontally and squeeze the juice.
- (It's OK to hand squeeze).
- Measure the weight of the juice.
- Once you're finished squeezing the juice, hollow the peels by discarding the yuzu pith and place the seeds in an empty tea bag.
- Juliene the yuzu peel and measure their weight as well.
- Put the peel in boiling water, remove, and throw out the water.
- Repeat this 4 - 5 times.
- Once you have finished, drain the water well.
- Add honey, sugar and yuzu juice and let them seep.
- (The weight of the juice, peel, and sweetening ingredients should be the same.)
- These sweetening ingredients are sugar and honey.
- Add the seeds from Step 2 to the mixture made in Step 5 (this creates pectin, which acts as a gelling agent).
- Grate the ginger in and boil the mixture down until it becomes syrupy.
- Remove the seeds part way through the boiling.
- Put the jam into sterilized jars.
- It's also delicious to dilute jam in hot water to make yuzu tea.
