Japanese plum syrup makes a great drink for summer!! Ume (plums) is known to be good for health and beauty in Japan. When you feel exhausted from summer heat, try this! My daughters also enjoy over shaved ice!!

After a month, it’s time to open the lid. Take plums out. Heat syrup in a pan and bring to boiling.
