yuzu tea

It's good to end dreary days like this with a cup of yuja-cha (which is what Koreans call yuzu tea), which is basically bits of the chopped up yuzu (a roundish yellow citrus fruit that originates somewhere in Asia...) mixed with honey and/or sugar, then plopped into hot water. It is delicious. The yuzu is sweeter than a lemon, though subtler, and highly fragrant. My mom and I are hooked on this stuff to the point that I get a new jar every week. Which sounds bad, but I like to think of it as fulfilling a weekly simple pleasure. I need to get a jar of it tomorrow, since this week's is pretty much cleared out. Anyway, to bed...
