Ingredients
  

  • 2 yuzu (to extract the following amounts of juice and ground zest)
  • - 1 ½ Tbsp yuzu juice (1½ Tbsp is equivalent to the amount from about 1-2 yuzu)
  • - 0.18 oz. (5g)  ground yuzu zest (0.18 oz. (5g) is equivalent to the amount from about 1 yuzu)
  • 1 cup (240ml) water
  • 2.8 oz. (80g) granulated sugar (Other types of sugar can also be used.)
  • mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat water and sugar in a pot. Once the sugar is completely dissolved in the water, turn off the heat and let it cool.
  • Grate only the zest of the yuzu, being careful not to include the white pith. After grating the required amount of zest, cut the yuzu in half and squeeze out its juice.
  • Mix the sugar-water solution, yuzu juice, and grated yuzu zest in a sheet pan. Then, place it in the freezer and let it chill for 90 minutes.
  • Take the sheet pan out of the freezer and crush the mixture with a fork or spoon until it becomes smooth. Return it to the freezer and let it chill for about 30 minutes. Repeat this process a total of three times.
  • Serve the mixture in individual cups and top with mint leaves.

Notes

  • You can store it in the freezer.
