Just as a FYI, Koreans don't consider "soo jung gwa" as a "tea", and it's usually drunk cold. Also one of the previous commentators suggested washing dried persimmon. If the quality of the dried persimmon is good, I highly recommend against washing.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-589057777801750973.post-73700816002819144422009-01-29T23:12:00.000+01:002009-01-29T23:12:00.000+01:00Hi Caitlin,Thank you for visiting my blog and info...Hi Caitlin,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for visiting my blog and informing me about the competitions...I will have a look in a jiffy.pixenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189015058658260987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-589057777801750973.post-49308274635866017402009-01-29T23:09:00.000+01:002009-01-29T23:09:00.000+01:00Salam Zerrin,I envied you able to eat fresh persim...Salam Zerrin,<BR/><BR/>I envied you able to eat fresh persimmons... :-) I could it dozens of in one sitting giving me the chance!

The person who was selling them was Asian, so I am guessing it's used quite a bit in Asian cuisine. It was surprisingly good and making a tea out of it sounds really good.<BR/><BR/>I'm still thinking about making the kaffir lime chicken. I found an Asian market that carries kaffir lime leaves, but it's kind of far so I got to schedule a weekend trip sometime.

And I'm Asian! Go figure. I think it's because my fondness for cakes and cookies wins over. That being said, I do have a weakness for anything gingery. I once had this wonderful, hot, ginger-mango soup at a dessert buffet at a Hong Kong Hotel. This reminds me of that, and I bet it's very bit as soothing and warming to the soul.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
