Exotic Citrus Shrubs (Kaffir Lime, Yuzu)

5 Oct

Coming across unusual, briefly-in-season, quick-spoiling fruit at Monterey Market yet again inspires cold-infused shrubs to extend the experience.

Fresh kaffir limes, unlike any other citrus in fragrance:

Oleo saccharum yields the most intense flavors (shown here, Yuzu, an east asian citrus):

It’s a pain to juice a yuzu:

And a week later I  strained and bottled them (I didn’t have time for real labels):

    I’m completely smitten with the flavour of yuzu. Would love to be able to get hold of the fresh fruit, but sadly I have to make do with bottled juice and Korean yuzu-honey tea!
