Sweet, tangy, and deeply flavourful.
Korean Plum Syrup (Maesil Cheong) is a traditional Korean ingredient made by steeping ripe plums in sugar, creating a rich syrup with bright fruit character, balanced sweetness, and gentle tartness. It’s prized for its versatility and layered flavour profile.
Use it as a drink base (mixed with water or sparkling water), in marinades, glazes, sauces, or dressings, and even in cocktails for a sweet-fruity boost. Its deep plum aroma and balanced flavour make it a kitchen favourite that enhances both sweet and savoury dishes.
