Sujeonggwa
''Sujeonggwa'' () is a Korean traditional cinnamon punch. Dark reddish brown in color, it is made from mainly cinnamon, sugar, water and ginger. It is often served with '' gotgam'' (dried persimmon) and garnished with pine nuts. The punch is made by brewing first the cinnamon sticks and ginger at a slow boil. The solids are then removed for clarification and the remaining liquid is boiled again after adding either honey or brown sugar. The dried persimmons are cut into portions and are added to soak and soften after the brew has completely cooled. This is usually done several hours before serving, as extensive soaking of the fruit may thicken the clear liquid to a murky appearance. ''Sujeonggwa'' is served cold and commonly as a dessert, much like '' sikhye'', due to its sweet taste. It is also widely available in canned form. History The earliest mention of ''sujeonggwa'' dates back to 1849 in the book ''Dongguksesigi'' (), a book of seasonal customs written by scholar Hong S ...
