Date: 16/09/2021 | Source: Naenara (En) | Read original version at source

Hyangsolgo , which was called paesuk or risuk , is pear punch.

From of old the Korean people loved to make and drink the refreshing and aromatic punch regardless of seasons.

Records of the drink can be found in Kyuhapchongso , Siuibang , Puinphilji and other documents from the feudal Joson dynasty (1392–1910).

Kyuhapchongso (1815) reads as follows:

Hyangsolgo is made by boiling peeled pear slices with ginger in honeyed water, a pepper corn set in each of the slices. And then juice from the fruit of Schizandra chinensis , cinnamon powder and pine nuts are put into the drink before serving.

Peeled sour and hard gourd-shaped wild pears are used in preparing the drink.

Only sour pears make the colour of the drink red, and in case of less sour pears, a little amount of juice from the fruit of Schizandra chinensis can be put in the drink.
