Chilled Plum Punch (Jaju Hwachae)
A traditional Korean hwachae-style fruit punch built from ripe plums steeped in a light lemon-brightened sugar syrup, served icy cold and finished with a scatter of toasted pine nuts for crunch and aroma. Light, refreshing and barely sweetened, it leans on the natural tartness and perfume of the fruit itself.

Instructions
1
Slice the plums thinly, discarding pits, and set aside in a bowl.
2
In a small saucepan, dissolve the sugar in the water over low heat, stirring until clear, then remove from heat and cool completely.
3
Stir the lemon juice into the cooled sugar syrup to brighten the flavour and prevent the plum slices from browning.
4
Combine the plum slices with the syrup in a jug or bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
5
Toast the pine nuts in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, then cool completely.
6
Divide the chilled plum mixture and its liquid evenly between two bowls, adding a small handful of crushed ice to each.
7
Scatter the toasted pine nuts over the top of each bowl just before serving.
