Thank you so much for this recipe. I first tasted sujeonggwa at a Korean restaurant years ago, and I loved it, but I never thought I would be able to make it. Now I make it every time I have a sore throat- it really works! Thanks a lot Maangchi!
Yummy! This is DELICIOUS!! It was 85 degrees today and when I got home from, it was SO refreshing and tasty!!

wow, you are so good at Korean cooking! The soaked dried persimmon looks very sweet, soft, and flavorful!
It is SOOOOOOO good! It’s good because your recipes are great LOL, thank you!
I am so excited that I found this recipe! This was one of my favorite things in Korea (though my boyfriend doesn’t like it), but it was hard to bring any back because they don’t have tea bags of it! Now that I found a recipe, I’ll be able to make it. Thank you!
Just made this – it’s steeping in the fridge. Can’t wait to drink it!
I noticed the ginger slices still had plenty of flavor after straining. I don’t throw anything away that I’ve already paid for if it still tastes good. So I removed the cinnamon, weighed the ginger and put it back in the pot. Then added an equal amount of sugar, a splash of water, and brought to boil. Then simmered for 20 minutes stirring frequently. When the liquid was almost gone and the ginger was getting translucent, I spread it out with chopsticks on a cooling rack set over a piece of foil. Now I have candied, cinnamon-spiced ginger as well as a yummy drink. I consider this a total bonus!
Thank you for sharing the great tip with us! You can boil the ginger many times until it tastes nothing! : ) I love your frugal way!
I am doing this for my geography class. and have about 30 people to serve can i put the pinenuts to the side and give them some if they want them and cut the persimmons into bite size peices so at least everyone can try it.. Or will it ruin the purpose?
Why do you remove part of the pine nut? thanks
You actually dont remove any part of the pine nut, its the stem of the persimmon that you remove.
I wonder about this, too. I see it all the time in Maangchi’s and other Korean cooks’ videos. Are the tips of pine nuts bitter, perhaps? I’m going to investigate…
:)
Made this today. I couldn’t find any persimmons so I used apples and it came out great!
Hi, Maangchi! I love your site. I tried making this and I think I overbrewed the tea. It has that feeling when you boil tea for too long. I followed the instructions. I used a kettle with the lid and spout closed. Did you use a kettle that let out steam while boiling?
Mangchi, I really want to make this drink….
But I cannot find dried persimmon here…
all I got is fresh one…
how shall I prepare the persimmon?
thankss for the great recipe
Hi Check out the video on the page. It’s showing how to make dried persimmons with fresh persimmons. https://www.maangchi.com/ingredients/dried-persimmons
