6 steps

What you need

  • 2 large yuzu, or 4 small, about 1 cup when sliced

Method

Restated from the original video

  1. 1

    Scrub the yuzu well under running water, since the peel goes into the tea, and dry them.

  2. 2

    Cut each yuzu in half, pick out the seeds, then slice the halves as thinly as you can, peel and all.

  3. 3

    Mix the sliced yuzu with the sugar and honey in a bowl until every slice is coated.

  4. 4

    Spoon it into a clean glass jar, leaving some space at the top for the juices that will form.

  5. 5

    Leave the jar at room temperature overnight, then stir with a clean spoon and refrigerate. It is ready once the sugar has dissolved and keeps for about a month in the fridge.

  6. 6

    For each cup, stir 1 tbsp of the yuzu marmalade, slices included, into the hot water. Eat the softened peel along with the tea.
