Green Ume Plum Syrup - 275ml

Typically added to still or sparkling water, this is a refreshingly fruity drink with a distinctive tartness. Ume plums are the fruit of the Japanese apricot tree. When making ume syrup, the green plums are harvested before they are ripe to create the aromatic, tangy and flowery taste. Full of minerals and vitamins, ume plums are a great addition to your diet.  

From the Japanese apricot tree

Ume is also known as Japanese plum or Chinese plum and is harvested from Japanese apricot trees around the end of May and early June, during the rainy season. The Japanese apricot tree fruits have a range of uses including making umeboshi, ume jam or ume juice.

Fresh ume has a sour taste, reminiscent of apricot or plum but there is also plenty that can be done with leftover ume, such as using it in cakes or jelly, or even turning it into a flavoursome and versatile ume syrup. Ume plum syrup or plum juice is a hearty addition to sweet and savoury options with plenty of options to explore.
