Cooking tips
- Sort out any damaged maesil, remove the stems, dry them completely, and use them whole.
- Using unrefined cane raw sugar instead of regular white sugar yields a less cloying sweetness with deep flavor and a natural savory note.
- When using oligosaccharide, add no more than about 25% of the total sugar to adjust sweetness and consistency.
- Any remaining moisture is a major cause of mold, so after washing, make sure both the maesil and the container are completely dry.
Recommended for
- Those who have failed every time they tried to make maesil syrup, ending up with foam or mold.
- Those who want to make their own natural seasoning with a fragrant, deep sweetness instead of a cloying sugary taste.
- Those who want to make a reliable pantry condiment that adds savory depth to family meals.
