About this dish
It needs a night in the fridge, about twelve hours, so make it the day before.

Cinnamon sticks and ginger go down to low heat with the lid on as soon as the water boils; a hard boil makes the punch bitter. The dried persimmon is not added ahead of time but floated in each cup, where it soaks up the punch and softens as you drink.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Peel 30 grams of fresh ginger and slice it thinly so its heat extracts evenly.
Remove the stems and seeds from 2 dried persimmons, then cut each one into quarters for serving later.
- 2
Put 1200 milliliters of water, 20 grams of cinnamon sticks, and the sliced ginger in a pot.
Heat over high heat until bubbles rise from the edges and the spice aroma becomes clear.
- 3
When the liquid reaches a full boil, immediately lower the heat to low and cover the pot.
Simmer gently for 25 minutes so the cinnamon and ginger infuse without becoming harsh.
- 4
Turn off the heat and strain the liquid through a fine sieve, keeping only the clear spiced tea.
While it is still hot, add 80 grams of dark brown sugar and stir until no grains remain.
- 5
Divide into smaller containers and refrigerate promptly, then chill overnight for about 12 hours.
The preparation time includes this planned chilling period.
- 6
Pour the cold Sujeonggwa into serving cups or bowls.
Float the dried persimmon pieces and 1 tablespoon of pine nuts on top, then serve once the persimmon starts to soften slightly.
