Korean syrups are so much more than ingredients for traditional Korean cooking — they’re surprisingly versatile in everyday life, too. ✨
Take rice syrup, for example. Besides being used in classic Korean desserts, it makes a delicious alternative to maple syrup on pancakes and waffles. It also adds a subtle toasted-rice sweetness to coffee, making it a fun twist on your usual vanilla, caramel, or hazelnut syrup.
Corn syrup is another Korean kitchen essential. Its mild sweetness and silky texture make it perfect for baking, homemade gelato, candies, and glossy sauces. It’s also the secret to that beautiful shine on Korean fried chicken and tteokbokki.
Looking for something refreshing? 🍋 Yuzu syrup is made with Korean yuzu and is perfect mixed with sparkling water for an easy summer drink. It also makes a soothing cup of hot tea and pairs beautifully with yogurt, desserts, and even cocktails.
And finally, plum syrup is back in stock! 💚
Many of our customers use it when making homemade kimchi, where it adds a gentle sweetness and extra depth of flavour. But honestly? Around here, it usually ends up mixed with sparkling water and plenty of ice before anyone gets around to making kimchi. 😄
