Prepare the ingredients

Brew kumquat tea
Add 3 tablespoons of sugar to the pickled dried plum tea and stir well.
Then add 2 teaspoons of kumquat sauce to enhance the flavor of the kumquat tea.
Wait about 15 minutes for the tea to cool, then squeeze the kumquat directly into it and add a slice of orange to create a fragrant aroma for the tea, then stir well and adjust the taste to suit your preference.
Finally, remove the seeds and add some ice cubes to complete it!
Tip:- To make the sugar dissolve easier, add the sugar to the tea while it is still hot!
- To avoid bitterness in the tea, wait for the tea to cool before squeezing in the kumquat and adding the orange. If added while the tea is hot, the orange and kumquat will create a bitter taste.

Final Product
The sweet and sour kumquat tea with dried salted plums is appealing, featuring the distinctive salty taste of dried plums and the fragrant aroma of kumquats, making it an extremely refreshing drink for this summer!
How to Choose Fresh Kumquats
- Choose kumquats that are not too large or too small but feel heavier than their size, with firm, shiny skin; these are juicy kumquats.
- Prefer kumquats that are uniformly round, with green skin, few blemishes, and a distinctive kumquat aroma.
- Avoid selecting bruised, rotten fruit or those with dark spots on the skin.
How to Choose Good Quality Dried Salted Plums
- When buying dried salted plums (ô mai), you should observe and preferably smell to check if they are damp, moldy, leaking, or have an unusual odor.
- Avoid purchasing dried salted plums of unknown origin. Only buy from reputable stores with clear origin, expiration dates, and ingredient lists.
Where to buy tea bags?
- You can buy any type of tea bags you like to make the tắc xí muội drink, as long as it’s black tea without fragrance.
- You can purchase tea bags at grocery stores, supermarkets, or markets. You can also go to the TasteVN store to buy or order on the website bachhoaxanh.com.
- However, when buying, be sure to pay close attention to the labels to avoid purchasing counterfeit or fake products, and check the expiration date.
