Ingredients
- 1 Korean pear (490 g / 1 pound), peeled
- 3 cups water
- 15 g ginger (0.5 ounces), peeled, thinly sliced
- 2 Tbsp sugar or honey
- 24 black peppercorns (optional)
- Some pine nuts (optional) to garnish
Instructions
- Put the sliced ginger into a pot and add the water. Boil over medium high heat until rolling boiling (7 to 8 mins).
- (At the same time as step 1) Cut the pears into wedge shapes (about 8 pieces). Push through the black peppercorns on the back of the pears (typically 3 peppercorns per slice). You may want to use a chopstick or an equivalent tool to push them deep, so that they don’t fall out. Though, if you don’t like this additional peppercorn flavour, it can be omitted.
- Discard the ginger from step 1. Add the sliced pears and sugar / honey into the pot. Boil them over low heat for about 10 mins.
- Remove the pot from the heat and cool down. Chill in the fridge for a few hours. Garnish the drink with some pine nuts before serving. Serve cold or warm.
