Lemon Cheong (Korean Lemon Syrup) Recipe

“A great way to use up lemon rinds or other citrus that would otherwise just be thrown out. Mix equal parts citrus and sugar, pack it tight and let the magic happen. I stored mine for a couple weeks before trying, have been obsessed ever since with the deep, a little bit bitter but sweet taste. Things I have made with cheong: used in drinks, made into glaze on a cake, drizzled onto yoghurt”

“another thing i found on rec league that i now love. i add this to some hot water in the morning and it’s a perfect no-effort tea. it’s especially good if you melt a gin gin into the water too”

“Add some sugar to a jar of lemon rinds and wait for the magic to unfold”
