This is the way which I learnt from ume farmer. There is several way of making ume syrup,
but I think this is the best for tast and you won’t fail!
You can make ume juice using any sugar like brown sugar, but I recommend you to use rock ice,
because you can enjoy more pure flavor of fresh green ume, and refreshing taste.
Please don’t forget taking away ume within one month, otherwise destroy taste and probably ume become rotten.
You can keep ume syrup in Juice jar in refrigerator for 1 year.
