Lemon, Ginger and Fermented Fruit Extract

A Taste of CHAE: Lemon, Ginger, and Fermented Fruit Extract

At CHAE, every element of our menu is carefully crafted to highlight balance, tradition, and the essence of natural ingredients. One of the beverages we serve embodies this philosophy: a refreshing yet soothing drink made from lemon, ginger, and fermented fruit extract.

Sourcing the Best Ingredients

We begin by sourcing fresh lemons and ginger from our local market, ensuring that only the best seasonal produce is used. The lemons are hand-squeezed to extract their bright, citrusy juice, while the ginger is infused to impart a subtle spiciness, adding depth and warmth to the drink.

The Art of Fermentation

To achieve a delicate sweetness, we rely on fermentation. Seasonal fruit is combined with sugar and left to ferment for at least six months. During this time, the natural sugars break down, creating a mellow, complex sweetness that enhances the overall balance of flavors. This fermented fruit extract is then blended into the ginger-infused lemon juice, adding just the right amount of pleasant sweetness without being overwhelming.

A Versatile Beverage

This liquid extract is incredibly versatile. It can be enjoyed as a cordial, diluted with water or soda for a refreshing drink, or lightly warmed and mixed with hot water to create a soothing tea—perfect for colder days.

At CHAE, every sip tells a story of time, patience, and carefully chosen ingredients. Whether served chilled or warm, this beverage is a reflection of our dedication to traditional methods and natural flavors.
