Cinnamon and Ginger Tea With Persimmons 수정과

Soojunggwa or 수정과 is a traditional Korean drinks. It existed since the Chosun Kingdom. Koreans usually drink it after meals. The aromatic scent of ginger can bring relaxation. Now, a beverage company in Korea produced Soojunggwa in a can, so it's easier to drink. However, the original taste is still there !
