Assi Korean Citron Tea with Honey jar — 1 kg (2.2 lb) yuja preserve, sweet-tangy syrup for tea & cooking

Assi Korean Citron Tea with Honey is a jarred citrus preserve blending thinly sliced citron peel and honey to make instant hot or iced tea, a marmalade-style spread, and a flavoring for cooking.

This 1 kg (2.2 lb) jar provides a pantry-friendly way to enjoy Korea’s beloved yuja/ citron flavor year-round. The product combines tender pieces of citrus peel with honey and sugar to create a sweet, tangy syrup that dissolves easily in hot water or adds brightness to cold drinks and recipes. It’s shelf-stable until opened, convenient for hospitality or home use, and useful as a multitasking ingredient in both sweet and savory applications.

How do I make citrun tea quickly with Assi Citron Tea?

Preparing a cup is fast and forgiving: spoon several tablespoons into a mug, add hot water, stir, and adjust to taste. For a clear iced beverage, dilute the preserve with cold water and a little stirring or gently muddle in sparkling water for a fizzy version.

• Typical serving: 1–2 tbsp preserve per 8 oz (240 ml) hot water.
• For iced tea: dissolve 2–3 tbsp in 4 oz warm water, pour over ice, then top with cold water.
• Variation: mix 1 tbsp with sparkling water for a citrus soda.
• Sweetness is adjustable—add more or less to suit preference.

What culinary uses does this citron-honey preserve work best for?

Beyond tea, the chunky syrup doubles as a glaze, marinade base, or spread. It layers well into desserts like yogurt, pancakes, and cupcakes, and can balance savory dishes like roasted chicken or salmon when used sparingly.

• Use as a glaze: brush on roast poultry or salmon in the last 10 minutes of cooking.
• Baking: fold into muffin batter or swirl into cheesecake filling.
• Breakfast: spoon over porridge, yogurt, or toast instead of jam.
• Cocktails/mocktails: stir into a shaker for citrus-honey flavor.

How should I store and handle the 1 kg jar to keep flavor fresh?

Keep the jar sealed and refrigerated after opening to preserve texture and aroma; use a clean spoon each time to avoid contamination. Stored correctly, the preserve maintains quality for several weeks, though best flavor is enjoyed sooner.

• Before opening: store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• After opening: refrigerate with the lid tightened.
• Use a clean, dry utensil to scoop product each time.
• Consume within manufacturer-recommended timeframe after opening.

What should I know about ingredients and flavor profile?

The flavor is distinctly bright and aromatic, with citrus peel notes, a honeyed sweetness, and a syrupy mouthfeel. It’s designed to mimic traditional Korean yuja (citron) tea preserves and pairs naturally with warm beverages and baked goods.

• Flavor: tangy citrus peel balanced by honey and sugar.
• Texture: soft sliced peel suspended in viscous syrup.
• Usage: concentrated—small amounts deliver strong flavor.
• Versatility: suitable for drinks, breakfast, baking, and glazes.

Who is this for? Home cooks, tea lovers, and foodservice operators who want an easy, authentic-tasting Korean citron option will find this 1 kg jar practical and economical. It’s ideal for households that enjoy making hot citrus tea on cold mornings, bartenders crafting citrus cocktails, and bakers seeking a ready-made citrus-honey ingredient. If you prefer fresh-squeezed citrus without syrupy texture, this product may not match that expectation; otherwise it offers a convenient, long-lasting way to add Korean citron character to many recipes.
