Cheong (청) is a traditional Korean syrup or preserve made by mixing fruits, roots, or edible flowers with sugar or honey. Over time, the sugar draws out moisture and flavor from the main ingredient, creating a thick, sweet syrup. It’s not fermented like kimchi or soy sauce—cheong is more like a natural, concentrated flavor base.
Cheong can be used as:
A sweetener in teas, coffees, and more
A cooking ingredient
A simple topping for dishes like pancakes or yogurt
A standalone drink by adding hot/iced water or milk
It’s valued not only for its taste but also for potential health benefits, depending on the ingredients used. Many Korean households make cheong at home, especially in the summer or autumn when fruits are in season.
In short: Cheong is a Korean syrup made by preserving natural ingredients in sugar, used for both flavor and wellness.
