Yuzu has properties to help aid digestion and cures hangovers.
While the yuzu peel warms the body, the juice cools it.
So this has ginger, which warms you up.
Eating ginger helps digestion too, so this makes me happy after eating too much.

The sweetness is made by the same net weight of yuzu peel and juice. Honey moisturizes the body during the dry winter seasons, acts as a barrier against viruses and sickness, so you may want to include it. However, if you don't have any, you can just use sugar!
If it's not sweet, once you've made the yuzu tea, you can add honey.
And please add yuzu juice as well. Recipe by Noritama@kusuimun

Steps

1

Cut the yuzu in half horizontally and squeeze the juice. (It's OK to hand squeeze). Measure the weight of the juice.
2

Once you're finished squeezing the juice, hollow the peels by discarding the yuzu pith and place the seeds in an empty tea bag.
3

Juliene the yuzu peel and measure their weight as well.
4

Put the peel in boiling water, remove, and throw out the water. Repeat this 4 - 5 times. Once you have finished, drain the water well.
5

Add honey, sugar and yuzu juice and let them seep. (The weight of the juice, peel, and sweetening ingredients should be the same.) These sweetening ingredients are sugar and honey.
6

Add the seeds from Step 2 to the mixture made in Step 5 (this creates pectin, which acts as a gelling agent). Grate the ginger in and boil the mixture down until it becomes syrupy. Remove the seeds part way through the boiling.
7

Put the jam into sterilized jars.

It's also delicious to dilute jam in hot water to make yuzu tea.
