Today I tested my first recipe, I made a pomegranate tea ( Seoklyu-cha ) that I found on Maangachi's website. Maangachi is a Korean housewife, blogger and Youtube chef who teaches you how to make Korean food. During the process of making the tea I realized I didn't have a pestle to crush the pomegranate seeds with so I had to use a meat crusher and a blender to smooth it out so it came out with the consistency of jam..I was really disappointed with that. When I looked at the example picture I noticed a huge difference between the two tea's. I also ended up burning my right hand on the tea because I dropped the mug and all of the hot water began to spill on my hand which let to a 1st degree burn and the use of tons of Aloe vera to relieve the burning. I hope to retry this recipe in the future.
