About preserved kumquat
Whole kumquats preserved in sugar and dried until chewy, or sliced and freeze-dried. Sweet with a citrus-peel edge. This pack is 200 g net, freeze-dried, so it keeps its shape and snaps. At the quantities below that is about 20 brews. That works out at S$3.40 per 100 g.
Also known as gam gat, ju bing, preserved kumquat, 金桔, candied kumquat, kat chai.
What people use it for
One or two dropped into a mug of hot water on their own, mashed against the side of the cup, or brewed with dried lemon and honey. Also eaten straight as a sweet.
How to prepare it
One or two per mug of just-boiled water, crushed lightly, 5 minutes.
Keeping it
Airtight. The sugar makes them sticky in humid air; a sealed jar is better than the bag.
