Instructions
- Combine yuja citrus marmalade with water in a saucepan and heat gently for 8–10 minutes to dissolve sugar or infuse the plant ingredient.
- Strain solids where needed and stir in sugar while warm; add lime juice after heating.
- Rapidly chill the mixture to refrigerator temperature.
- For this original honey adaptation, add 22 g honey to the prepared base and stir or blend until evenly dispersed; if it is a spice or chopped solid, hydrate, infuse or melt it in the warm phase, then strain if necessary.
- Pour over ice in two glasses and serve.
Tips
- Perishables must not sit at room temperature longer than 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C).
