Passion Fruit & Yuzu Honey Drink

Why people make this drink

Passion fruit is one of those ingredients that earns its name — the extraordinary fragrance that greets you when you cut one open is unlike almost anything else in the fruit world. Its scientific name (Passiflora / Passionfruit) reflects its flower’s resemblance to the passion flower. What most people do not realise is how nutritionally and therapeutically interesting passion fruit is. It is rich in lycopene and vitamin C, and in traditional food therapy it is associated with moistening the lungs, easing a dry cough, and supporting the body’s natural processes. Paired with Korean yuzu honey (a jarred preparation of sliced yuzu fruit and honey available in Asian supermarkets), this two-ingredient drink comes together in under five minutes and makes a genuinely lovely morning tonic or afternoon refresher.
