Guest guest Posted November 7, 2001 Report Share Posted November 7, 2001 I said I love the sour-saltiness of umeboshi plums. I have never had a tea from them, though. Never even heard of the idea. Well, here it is. But based on the comments, I guess I'll have to wait a few months before trying it.

It helps cool the body in summer and prevent loss of minerals through perspiration. It is usually served cool, and the taste should not be salty. Boil the umeboshi plums in the water, reducing the heat, and simmering for about 20 minutes. A few shiso leaves (that come with plums) may be added to enhance flavor. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Per serving (excluding unknown items): 0 Calories; 0g Fat (0% calories from fat); 0g Protein; 0g Carbohydrate; 0mg Cholesterol; 0mg Sodium _____ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
