Preserved Ginger

While I'm on the Korean topic...

I ordered a ginger tea from a Korean cafe the other day and noticed them scooping this kind of jelly from a jar into some hot water. The tea had like 8 or 10 paper-thin slices of ginger in it. Really spicy and sweet.

I found some of this stuff at the Korean supermarket down the street from my office. It's ginger preserved in honey with a little salt (you can't really taste salt). Since I bought it I've been addicted. I think I drank six cups of the tea the first day I had the jar of the stuff. I also dissolved some of it in just a bit of hot water and then added ice and club soda... better than most ginger ales you can buy!

Not sure where you would find this unless you have a China/Korea town near you...
