It’s light and fruity, with a soft sweetness that spreads on the palate.
Perfect for home parties this season, it’s easy to prepare and looks just as lovely as it tastes!

- ½ lemon
- ½ lime
- 6 mint leaves
- 3 cardamom pods
1.Slice the lemon and lime into rounds. Chop 1 ume fruit.
2.Lightly crush the cardamom pods.
Tip: Crush gently so the seeds don’t spill out, making it easier to drink.
3.In a pitcher, combine step 1, ume syrup, and the whole ume fruits. Pour in the white wine.
4.Add the cardamom and mint leaves. Done!
Tip: Lightly slap the mint in your hand before adding to release more aroma.
For an even lighter taste, top with soda water.
