Yayy!!! I remember watching Maangchi's video where she talked about Omija from Munkyeong county. I've been trying to find it ever since. So excited to try this soon from your shop.
Shisandra berry aka magnolia vine berry is good for lessening inflammation and it is an adaptogen for hormones and stress. This drink looks absolutely delicious!
First time I had Omija was in 창원. No idea what was, just thought it was like every other tea Koreans love to give guests but oh no- it was like an explosion went off in my mouth! Sooo delicious. I like it unsweetened and sweetened. 오미자 진짜 좋다!😍
I remember having Omija for the first time when my Soviet Pioneer unit went on a "fraternal goodwill visit" (LOL) to North Korea. It was summer, and they gave it to us cold. I fell in love immediately. Every time I go to South Korea I drink it by the litre. It's so complex and tasty! I've been getting the boxed Schisandra Tea, but it's very weak - and while you definitely CAN taste the complex flavours, it's... weak. So lately I've been getting dried Schisandra Chinensis from the Chinese markets & Korean Omija from the Korean markets and steeping it for full day. With MY family, as soon as I start pouring from the one jar, I set another to steep...
Wow, thank you for sharing this! I actually grew a five-flavor berry vine for years and I had no idea you could make tea from it. I used to cook the berries down with lemon juice and sugar to make a really complex jam that was lovely on mildly sweet pastries like scones or baked into thumbprint cookies. I don't know why, but cooking the berries into jam emphasized the "spice" aspect of the flavor, so it would almost taste as though I'd mixed in cloves or something similar. I'll need to see if I can get some dried berries and give the tea a try; it sounds amazing!
I tried it and it's definitely not bad. The smell is amazing. The best way I can describe it is a good sourness combined with that traditional Asian medicine flavor. I personally don't mind it but I can see that it may not be for everyone. Still worth a try at least though!
One of my favorite drinks! I always buy some omija (powder form or berries) on my annual trips to Seoul. Unfortunately, there are no plans to travel during this pandemic.
My grandma made this for me once and since then it's been my go-to tea at anytime of the year. A lot of people seem to dislike the sour and bitter notes, but I can only wish for a method to make the taste even stronger!
I prefer somewhat tart tasting beverages during hot summer months, so I'm interested. This seems like Omija tea might be similar to Jamaica, pronounced Ha-mai-ka, tea in that it's tart, red and refreshing. It's made from the Roselle variety of Hybiscus flowers and is a popular red color beverage in equatorial zone countries. It is also better when it is only steeped in cool water for several hours in the fridge as opposed to boiling water. Most people like to add sugar or some sweetener. Like you, I just have it plain. I also like to chew on the petals leftover from the steeping process. Thanks for introducing us to this tea. I look forward to trying it out soon.
I had iced omija tea for the 1st time at a temple stay and it was soooo refreshing! I haven't been able to make it taste the same as that time but I haven't tried cold steeping it.
Hmm, I think they probably served you omija tea made with omija-cheong (a marmalade made by fermenting the berries with sugar and waiting for it to release its lquids)
Just heard about these. Going to have to give them a try. I tend to like drinks that are a bit on the tart side... How does it compare to, say, hibiscus?
Interesting. Been eating them dried and crunching on the seeds. I reckon they might be interested added into pies, pancakes, etc. Just a really odd, complex flavor. Tasted like some sort of car chemical when first eating them. Wonder what a jam of omija would be like.
that is such a coincidence, a few days prior I was out on my omija tea from south korea. I bought it in jeju from a local gentleman in a village. He was quite popular and in TV programs lol at least he said that. uff also even then it was expensive I remember paying 50 euros for 1 liter if I am not mistaken
Yes! these omija berries run expensive here in Korea as well~~ especially the ones grown in Mungyeong :-) Sometimes, the larger grocery marts will also offer ones harvested in China~ but those sell for much cheaper
@@FutureNeighbor Interesting next time I am in South Korea I'll definitely buy a bunch of them. They are such a fun experience lol my friends and family had fun trying the omija tea, especially because each time we tried it tasted different. I wonder what the science behind it is lol

theres warnings for pregnant women to not have it, slight concerns for having the uterus to "contract", so just a warning
Yes, same with hibiscus or Roselle tea
😳
Oh~~ thanks for sharing this information! First time hearing it, but worth noting~
I'm Korean and never heard of this haha, my parents never made it! Definitely gonna try it thank you!

this is just my own experience, but i've found that omija tea has helped me get thru many hangovers as well!!!

Nice video. Great and concise delivery. Also, a thumbs up towards your laid-back and relaxed aura ;-).

I love your taste in music as well as food.

Hi... I'm from kerala, India 🇮🇳 I came looking for the omija recipe after watching a Korean drama... Thnx for the recipe 😂❤
Very great super video sharing 🙋🍀👍👏🚶🕊🌹👈🙏🏼
These are so beautiful! That looks so delicious! Yum!
My partner is getting up and making this -right now- to use up the berries in our tea cupboard we've neglected 😊
This looks so tasty! How many berries would you use for a given drink? Say, a standard tea mug etc.
Thank you for your hardwork!!
Just heard about these. Going to have to give them a try. I tend to like drinks that are a bit on the tart side... How does it compare to, say, hibiscus?
Thank you for this video
Your videos are perfect to watch while tripping on acid ❤️
I remember drinking Omija Tea in Andong and it eas so good! Definitly gonna order some!
Anyone see "Heaven's Garden"...that old K-drama? It was centered on the 5-Flavor berry. It was kind slow but really sweet. Now I gotta get me some!
Would using honey instead of sugar make a big difference in taste?
I just leave here the warning that these berries shouldn't be consumed by pregnant women and epileptic people
Yes another viewer mentioned this ~ its my first time hearing this but good to note this for pregnant ladies! Thank you for leaving the comment!
Nice! Thanks
Interesting.

Just a really odd, complex flavor. Tasted like some sort of car chemical when first eating them. Wonder what a jam of omija would be like.
Can u explain about 황기?
Best for health but it can make you stay up late so better dring early before going out.
you really launched that first berry lol
This reminds me of hibiscus tea!
Can this apply to mineral or sparkling water 🤔?
50 seconds, never been this early

Ooo I wonder what will happen if you steep it in soju 😂. Will it be like Umeshu (plum wine)
hey, daniel amazing recipe btw when did you visit India ???
Is the word ‘omija’ related to Japanese ‘umeshu’? 🤔
My water turned brown rather than red. Is that normal?
❤️
Hey Daniel and Katie i just wanted to let u guys know it says "Customers rate us 0/5 based on reviews" on your global site lol
Oh thats a bug! Thank you for letting us know :-) We’ll fix it
reminds me of russian compot
Never been this early
