Steps:
- Sterilize a glass jar in a pot of boiling water.
- Rinse the yuja fruit in running water. You may use bi-carb soda and/or coarse salt to scrub the yuja skin. Pat dry yuja with some paper towels.
- Separate the yuja - rind, pulp and juice, pith and seeds. Discard the pith and seeds. Thinly slice the yuja rind in even shapes and sizes. If you need more tips on this step, refer above "Tips for Preparing Yuja for Marmalade".
- Blend the yuja pulp and juice (but not the rind) in a mixer or blender. (Depending on the volume of yuja-cheong you're making, you may need to use a handheld blender instead).
- Combine blended yuja with sugar in a clean bowl and mix them well. Place the sliced yuja rind in the sterilized jar then pour over the yuja and sugar mixture. Stir with a clean teaspoon.
- Close the lid and sit the jar at room temperature until the sugar dissolves. Depending on the volume, it may take a few days to dissolve all the sugar. During this time, stir the yuja-cheong using a clean teaspoon everyday.
- Transfer the jar into the fridge until used up. The marmalade taste improves as times goes by. (i.e. It tastes better from week 1 to 2 of making it. Also the subtle bitterness improves from week 3 of making it.)
- Dissolve 2-3 teaspoonfuls of yuja-cheong (yuja marmalade) into a cup of water. Serve. (You can eat the yuja rind if you wish.)

A frozen orange or lemon slice in the glass looks pretty and helps keep this refreshing punch nice and cold. Using honey instead of sugar adds a sweet touch. -Sheila Bradshaw, Columbus, Ohio

CITRUS ICED TEA
This recipe was posted in response for Russian Tea using "real" ingredients. I have not tried this yet but it sounds lovely. It came from the Iced Tea book by Fred Thompson. Since Russian tea has cinnamon in it you could add a cinnamon stick to the infusing process.

- Stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the remaining 4 cups of water and stir to combine.

KOREAN GINGER TEA
From koreanrecipes.org.If spicy is not your thing,don't boil it for that long.Just a little simmer to get it just the way you like it.Koreans eat very spicy food so I'm not surprised by boiling it for 25-30 minutes.Even though I love hot food,for me even the 15 minutes was too much.I suggest to taste it and turn off the heat when is suites your taste.
