Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons maesil-cheong or Korean plum syrup Shop-bought or homemade works
- 1 Cup water Hot water, cold water, iced water, or sparkling water all work!
- Honey, to taste (Optional) I drink mine unsweetened but if you have a super sweet tooth, add some honey. The plum syrup does have a few flavour notes in common with cough syrup so if you have a very sensitive palate (it's not super obvious), adding honey helps to reduce the cough mixture taste!
- 1-2 pine nuts (optional) lightly toasted, sprinkled on the tea

Instructions
- Add 3 tablespoons of the maesil syrup to the water (hot/ iced/ cold/ sparkling) and mix well. Remember to only use a wooden spoon if you're dipping into your jar of home-made maesil syrup! Add honey, to taste, if you like it extra sweet.
- Sprinkle the pine nuts on top, serve with some cookies and enjoy!
Notes
- If you have access to the plum blossom flower, use it instead of the pine nuts to make a very pretty cup of tea.
- If you're using sparkling water- which I highly recommend on a hot day- don't forget to chill it first for maximum refreshing-ness!
- If you want a change, you can also squeeze a bit of lime or lemon into the Korean plum tea- in this case, I wouldn't add the pine nuts!
