When I
passed a bag of these little citrus fruits to my Sister-in-law who lives in
Penang, she taught me a great way to preserve them into concentrated juice that
can be kept in the fridge and can be easily consumed as and when we want. What
I like most is, it is a very simple way to make. The recipe ratio for making
this juice concentrate is 1:3, i.e. one part of juice and three parts of sugar.
For my first attempt I used white sugar.
In my 2nd batch I replaced white sugar with brown sugar
instead as some claimed brown sugar is healthier than white sugar. If brown
sugar is used, the colour of the juice concentrate becomes darker and looks like
honey instead of light golden colour as shown below.

Sour Plum Juice, to learn how to make fresh Calamansi juice with Sour plum,
another great thirst quenching beverage that you will yarn to have in the hot
summer. Calamansi is a member of the citrus fruits family. It is high in Ascorbic Acid or vitamin C
content and best known for its healing effect to soothe the throat, a great
natural cure for sore throat.
Now, at home my fridge is always ready with 1-2 bottles of this juice extract and by mixing 1 to 2 table spoons of the juice extract, we get to serve a glass of healthy soothing fruit juice with no artificial colouring and preservative, let’s cheer to that! J
