Korean Yuja cha (yuza tea) is a traditional Korean tea made with citrus and honey. Yuja tea's main ingredient is the yuja fruit, a citrus fruit that ranges from yellowish-green in color (like similar a lemon) to bright orange; the ripest, best fruit will be orange in color. The taste somewhat resembles a tart grapefruit, although you should be able to detect traces of the fruit's mandarin orange ancestry as well. Korean yuja cha is very easy to make at home if you can find fresh citron or yuzu. If you cannot find fresh yuja, you can use yuja chung (citron tea marmalade), found at many Asian groceries and almost all Korean markets.

Yuza tea is recently enjoying a resurgence, and it's quite tasty and thirst-quenching.

• 5 yuja fruits (citron or yuzu)
• 3/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup very warm water

• Slice the yuja fruits thinly and quarter them. Leave the peel intact but remove the seeds.
• In a large bowl, dissolve the honey in the warm water, making a thick syrup.
• Add the yuja fruit slices to the honey mixture, mixing to combine to make the yuja chung (yuja marmalade).
• Keep in a closed container at room temperature for one day and then store in the refrigerator.
