Preparation

There are two ways to make daechu-cha: boiling dried jujubes or diluting the preserved jujubes into boiling water.[2][4] Preserved jujubes can be made by simmering dried—preferably sun-dried—jujubes on low heat for about eight hours to a day, until the liquid becomes sweet and syrupy.[5] A pre-made sweet jujube syrup is also commercially available in Korean grocery stores.[6]

gollark: Cool and utterly terrible idea: reactor designs which constantly melt down and have self-repair capability.
gollark: I mean, "put in too much cooling" doesn't really make the problem of "how do I put in enough cooling" easier.
gollark: How do you actually design anything efficient for the stupidly hot fuels?
gollark: I've only been doing serious reactor design for a few hours, but I dislike this.
