We are learning more about Korean food as restaurants are becoming more popular. Japan Centre offers a range of Korean drinks to give a taste of what most Koreans drink every day.<\/p>\n

Now, I admit, before I tasted it I wasn\u2019t too sure about Milkis. \u00a0It is a milk and yoghurt flavoured sparkling drink and I couldn\u2019t imagine how that would work. But it\u2019s popular in Korea so I had to try. It\u2019s delicious and refreshing, and perfect for hot Korean summers.<\/p>\n
Milkis is very much like the celebrated Calpis (Calpico in the UK) found in Japan. It is best served chilled and is similar to western cream soda but with a richer texture and more flavour. The concept might seem strange to westerners, but this drink really is thirst-quenching and addictive.<\/p>\n
Woongjin Caffe Bene Peach Ice Tea in a pouch is handy and light to carry \u2013 although the ice doesn\u2019t come with it! It has a pronounced flavour of ripe peaches with a hint of black tea. This is delicious and could be served as a mocktail over ice with a garnish of fresh peach slices.<\/p>\n
Traditional Korean Citron Tea is a winter favourite. Yuja (Yuzu in Japanese) is the Korean name for citron. British people will recognise that as the peel found on the top of old-fashioned Madeira cakes. This citrus fruit and sugar are the main ingredients in this marmalade-like jam. One simply pours hot water over a couple of spoons of this tangy and fruity concentrate to produce a warming drink which is Vitamin C rich. This is the drink one craves on cold winter days. This is a sweet and healthy treat, and can be enjoyed as a breakfast spread, too!<\/p>\n
