What are jelly infusions?

If you want to know everything about frozen infusion, this article is for you!

Do you particularly like hot drinks and infusions but are you looking for a caffeine-free or new and healthy alternative to accompany your breakfasts, your snack or your breaks? The jelly infusion is an ideal drink that you will find hard to do without after tasting it!

These glass jars similar to jam or marmalade offer several tasting options for their delicious jellies that you will fall for.

History of infusion in jelly

The term “jelly infusion” was created by Santé Nat when it was founded in 2005.

However, it finds its origin through yuja-cha. In South Korea, yuja-cha (유자차; 柚子茶) or yuja tea is a traditional Korean tea prepared by mixing hot water with yuja-cheong (yuja marmalade). Yuja tea is popular throughout Korea, especially in winter when it is often recommended for colds and is often found in markets in large glass jars.

Yuja tea is made from the yuja fruit, commonly called yuzu outside of Korea, or Korean lemon. Yuja does not contain a lot of juice, unlike other citrus fruits. It is capable of cooking at high temperatures without losing its acidity. Yuja has a strong bittersweet scent that can be found in zest, juices and essential oils.

The jelly infusion could be closer to the Korean word “cheong” which is quite general and which, depending on the context, can group together liquids with fermented fruit extracts. However, these are generally more liquid and sweeter than jelly infusions.
