FAQ
Cheong is any type of syrup that is made by combining fruit or vegetables with equal weight in sugar, and letting it sit for up to 3 months depending on a few factors.
It can be made by simply mixing plums and sugar together, and then leaving them for about 100 days.
Turbinado sugar- you can use only honey if you prefer, but I think adding a bit of turbinado sugar tastes better, plus it's a bit more affordable than using all honey. *You can also just use white sugar (but turbinado tastes better imo).

Cheong is a Korean technique of making syrups and fruit preserves. It's incredibly easy and the result is great. Like for everything good in life, you only need one thing: time. The syrup should sit in the fridge for at least three weeks so that the sugar can extract all the juices from the fruit.
