Today, I am going to share with you another lotus root pickles by using the Korean citron syrup as the ingredient.
今天，我将和大家分享另一道醃渍莲藕片的食谱，主要的材料是韩式柚子蜜。。。

Yujacha or yuja cha (citron tea) is a traditional Korean tea (herbal tea) made from citron. Yuja (유자) fruit is thinly sliced with its peel and combined with honey or sugar, prepared as fruit preserves. The fruit is so prepared because of its otherwise sour and somewhat bitter taste.
To prepare as a beverage, a tablespoon of yucheong (유청, thick, yellow syrupy yuja) is stirred into a cup of (usually) hot water. Yujacha can either be made at home or purchased in glass jars.
Yujacha is used as a herbal remedy for the common cold and similar winter illnesses.
柚子茶，又稱柚子蜜、柚子蜜茶，是一种韩国传统茶，以韩国南部的“黄金柚”和蜂蜜为原料製成
柚子蜜可加入開水直接飲用，也可以用作製造甜品（例如戚風蛋糕、雪芳蛋糕），或當作甜酸汁烹調肉類或海鮮。
