#lemon cheong

[afewnovelideas]

I started some lemon cheong today. Basically lemon syrup that my family and I will use to make lemonade, teas, or cocktails. All that's needed to make it is equal weight lemons and sugar and time enough for the lemon juice to be drawn out of the fruit and into the sugar. There is no water involved. I will be stirring/shaking it daily to help fully dissolve the sugar. All in all I used 2 lbs of lemons and 2 lbs of sugar. I filled two of these 32 oz jars.

Been following this guy on youtube for a bit but this is by far my favorite flavor of cheong yet.

It's just lemons, pomegranate and sugar I just add this to a cup with some ice and sparkling water 😋 tastes like a sparkling lemonade

back at you though, drinks edition? a type of drink you couldn't do without, that is your go to for any occasion? give us the specific deets, recipe if needed

oh no you've activated my trap card i love drinks

okay so special occasion drink: brown sugar boba (50% ice 50% sweet) but specifically from the tea shop close-ish to my house. it's expensive so i don't go often but holy shit. they use actual proper tea and fresh-as-hell boba and it's just. it's so good, i think anything from there would be insanely worth it (but i've never bothered to branch out from perfection).

my daily bev: i can't be too specific on brand without lowkey doxxing myself a tad, but there's a local company that does this flavored black tea with cornflower, raspberry, red plum petals, and blueberry, and it's just. it's incredible. mellow and rich and lightly (but not overwhelmingly) floral and fruity. i have it every single day and i'm convinced it is the perfect tea.

and two other faves because you asked for recipes:

strawberry (cheong) lemonade: okay so this is more effort than truly necessary, but i went to one of those u-pick strawberry places last summer and then the cultivar fucking sucked so they weren't even good, so i made cheong with them, which is a korean fruit syrup/preserve you make by layering equal amounts of fruit and sugar in a jar and letting them sit (i put them in the fridge just to be safe) for a few weeks.

the end result is preserves that you can blend into a bangin' spread and a fruit syrup that is like the nectar of the fucking gods. i didn't think it would make a huge difference doing it that way rather than a typical heat-based reduction, but it tastes like fresh strawberries. you don't lose any of that to it breaking down via heat treatment, so similar to the difference between a cold brew and a heat-based one.

anyway those mixed with lemonade (i make a concentrate using half lemons and half regular lemon juice, and include some lemon zest) makes one of the best summer drinks i've ever had.

i'm adding a cut for the last one because i can't/won't stop now but i have some self-awareness. okay, last one:

vanilla chai: i haven't made this in a bit, because when i moved here i ended up using up my stock of cardamom, and the local brand available here is just... not it, and i'm still trying to work out the most cost-effective way to order them online. which is devastating, because cardamom is the flavor most beloved to me in chai. anyway-

the thing that rocks about chai is that it is not actually all that hard, and you can customize it so specifically to your taste. my go-to add-ins are cardamom (5-6 pods, crushed open), cloves (2-3), cinnamon (about half a stick, crushed a lil), fresh ginger (idk how to measure this one, like an inch or two?), and vanilla. i used to use vanilla bean paste i got ages ago as a gift, but that is too rich for the world we live in nowadays, so it's whatever vanilla i have.

technically there's a specific kind of tea you're supposed to use, but i prefer it with regular loose-leaf black tea (which i always have on hand anyway). so you basically get a small pot, and bring your water (about half to 3/4 of your mug) to a boil. once it does, add your tea leaves and spices (not vanilla tho) and let them vibe out there for 5-10 minutes.

then, add your milk (about half of your mug) and vanilla, and warm to desired temp, but don't let it boil (this is my personal preference). add desired amount of sugar to your mug (i usually do a small spoonful of white and a small spoonful of brown sugar) and pour the chai into the mug through a fine mesh sieve (to get out the spice bits). if you have a milk frother, i like to aerate it a bit before drinking (improves flavor and also makes it less likely to burn your tongue).

Cucumber mint limeade, hibiscus tea ice cubes, soda water

[kitchenknickers]

so I pitted some fresh cherries today and was going to try the cheong method for syrup but then realised that I defs don’t have the time for that

so I just went back and added some fresh lemon juice and orange juice with the zest of both, and this jar of vanilla infused whiskey I had laying around, and muddled it around a but, and the sugar all dissolved. it's sweet enough to fell a horse, but I think it's gonna do something good to those cherries.

I put it in the fridge, and I'll check on them in a few days

basically thinking I’ll strain it off and the cherries will be drunk and delicious to add to icecream for a nice adult ice cream for christmas.

[afewnovelideas]

Ummmm...

My lemon cheong that I started ten days ago...

It's fermenting and has gone completely fizzy! There was so much pressure on the jar it bent the canning lid! Took forever to open it up!

This is not a bad thing. Some fermentation is expected in cheong.

I just wasn't expecting THIS MUCH.

It's going straight in the fridge once the foam has gone down enough for me to close up again. That should slow down this over achiever.

I made cold brew tea with cherry berry tea from celestial seasonings. I added a little bit of the lemon cheong I made.

It tastes like red koolaid but without that artificial flavor, fuzzy teeth feeling.

I am excited to make more versions of this cold brew + syrup drink
