I don't really remember how exactly, but I stumble upon this on the interwebs while doing research on tea and its many forms. Technically, it is not tea but Koreans call it:
Fun Fact: I saw other varieties too at the said grocery store. There were quince tea, ginger tea and another one that looks like jellied champoy (not a very appetizing description but, forgive me, there's no English on the label), all prepared the same way.
I was kinda excited to try this, so try I did.
I liked it a lot that the next evening, I made another batch using my personal teapot.
I think this was lemon water before it was cool. I am not really a fan of the lemon water hype and between the two, I would certainly go for the citron tea. Thank you, internet, for introducing citron tea to me.
Now the question on everyone's mind: can I use it as a spread? On toast, perhaps? Well, my dad did. He thought it was a regular orange marmalade and was quite surprised by its "strong" taste. So, I do not recommend it, unless you are a big citron-head.
Have you had citron tea before? What are you thoughts about it? Let us swap notes in the comments below.
