My Family's Yuzu Tea
- 1 as much (to taste) Yuzu (I used 760 g, or 10 fruits)
- 1 I used 3 bottles that can hold 400 ml each Clean container
- 1 Sugar (40-50% net weight of the yuzu, without the seeds; I used 280 grams)
- 1 Honey (40-50% net weight of the yuzu, without the seeds; I used 280 grams)
- Rinse the yuzu well, and wipe away any excess water with a paper towel.
- Weigh them out.
- Slice the yuzu in half.
- Layer a colander in a bowl, and squeeze the yuzu inside.
- Discard the seeds.
- You won't need the seeds, just the juice.
- Weigh the seeds and subtract that from the original mass.
- The seeds usually weigh a little less than 10% of the original mass.
- Transfer the juice into an empty container.
- I separated the juice into 3 containers.
- Slice the yuzu skin in half, then julienne that as finely as you can.
- Use both the skin and the sac.
- Remove the stem.
- Divide into equal portions, and pack into the container.
- Add the sugar.
- If the container fills up, press down with a spoon.
- Pour in the honey.
- I usually place the container on a scale to weigh as I work.
- Done with the prepping.
- Don't worry about mixing, it's not necessary.
- This is how it looks like after 5 days.
- It's ready to be served.
- Actually, you can drink it after 2 days, but it still tastes a little bitter.
- Pour a decent amount of the yuzu tea into a cup.
- Pour some hot water over it, and enjoy.
- I usually scoop up the skin and eat that too.
