April Staff Selection: 10% off Yakami Orchard Yuzu Juice

From Staffer Jen Rosenthal

Recently, while putting out our daily deliveries, I opened a box with a weird new product. The label read "Yakami Orchard Yuzu Juice." I was instantly intrigued! Yuzu is a small citrus fruit from Japan that tastes like a lemon, orange & tangerine all rolled into one. It's tart and tangy, but surprisingly soft all at once. The perfect citrus substitute for all your cooking, cocktail, or sauce-y needs. And now that Spring has officially sprung, what could be better than a yuzu infused porch sipper, breezy spring salad, or a seafood supper.


Here are a few recipes to inspire "yuzu":

Jamaica Tea (Hibiscus Flower Water)
2 c. (2 oz) jamaica flowers (dried hibiscus flowers available at Mexican grocery stores)
¾ c. sugar
6 c. water
Splash of Yuzu Juice

Bring water to a boil; add flowers & sugar, stirring constantly until mixture boils for a minute. Set aside & let steep for at least 2 hours. Strain mixture through a fine meshed sieve, pressing flowers to extract as much liquid as possible.
Refrigerate until cold.
Pour tea over ice, adding a splash of yuzu juice to taste.
