my first cuppa yuzu-cha.
柚子 - Yuzu looks a bit like a very tiny grapefruit with an uneven skin, and its color can be either orange or green depending on the degree of ripeness. Yuzu may be used to make sweet jams (they are very aromatic!), garnish and fragrance. In Japan, bathing with yuzu is a popular custom. The whole fruits are added in hot bath, releasing citrusy aroma. Yuzu bath is said to guards against colds, warms the body, and relaxes one's mind. A tablespoon of yuzu syrup stirred into a cup of hot water makes a beverage called yuzu-cha, a herbal remedy for the cold and other winter illnesses.
