UME-SHO KUZU

UME-SHO KUZU drink is used to strengthen, promote digestion, and restore energy.

Dissolve one heaping teaspoon of kuzu in 2-3 teaspoons of cold water. In a saucepan, add one cup of cold water to the dissolved kuzu. Bring to a boil over a medium flame. Stir constantly to avoid lumping, until the liquid becomes translucent. Reduce the flame to as low as possible. Add to this mixture the pulp of 1/2-1 umeboshi plum that has been chopped or ground to a paste. Add from several drops to one teaspoon of shoyu/soy sauce and stir gently. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. Drink while hot.
