Queens Ginger Cheong

Cheong 청 (or Ekgis 엑기스 or Won Aek 원액) were traditionally developed as a way to preserve peak season fruit and herbs for storage over extended periods of time at room temperature. Preserved with equal parts whole ingredient (juice, rind, peel, skin, leaves, stems, etc) and sugar until the mixture is reduced of most of its water content (typically 90 days of fermentation).

Their versatility spans applications in sweet and savory creations. Mix into salad dressings, marinades, or with hot water for a quick tea. Spread on bread or over yogurt for a flavor boost that’s spicy, warm, and mildly sweet. A tiny spoonful goes a very long way!
