Equipment

  • 1 Glass Jar Use a storage jar that is glass and has an airtight lid.
  • 1 sharp knife
  • 1 cutting board

Ingredients

  • 5 pieces Yuzu Fruit aka yuja fruit; If you cannot find yuja then you can use Meyer lemons.
  • 1 cup Honey You can also use sugar with honey.

Instructions

  • Wash your yuzu fruit very well. Pat dry.
    Slice the yuzu very thinly with rind and all except the seeds. Discard the seeds and any loose fibers.
    5 pieces Yuzu Fruit
  • Mix the thin sliced citrus with the honey in a jar. Add enough honey to submerge the fruit and rinds.
    Place in the refrigerator.
    While you can use the mixture right away, the longer it sits the better. I recommend making a large batch to last at several months. The mixture will be a thick marmalade that is infused with all the goodness of this superfood citrus fruit.
    1 cup Honey
  • Take a tablespoon to a mug and add hot water to make your yuja tea.
