Cooking tips

  • Avoid boiling cinnamon and ginger over high heat for too long, as this can intensify bitterness. After boiling starts, always reduce to medium-low and simmer gently to preserve a smooth, clear flavor.
  • Black sugar granules won’t dissolve fully when the broth is cold, so always strain first and add sugar while the broth is still slightly warm to ensure even sweetness throughout.
  • For a cleaner, more refreshing texture, strain the broth twice—first through a fine sieve with a damp cloth or linen, ensuring all fine impurities are removed.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a traditional drink to serve alongside holiday rice wine.
  • People who enjoy brewing their own ginger and cinnamon tea to enjoy cold.
  • Those preparing a post-meal beverage featuring dried dried persimmon and pine nuts.
