Citron Tea!

Recommend u guys nice nice drink! Citron Tea! Its light and its refreshing! N its good when u need a drink to "wash off the oil" or aid in digestion. I find that it helps me in that sense!

What exactly is citron? I extracted the following from wikipedia:
The citron (Citrus medica) is a
species of citrus fruit. It is characterized by its thick rind and small sections. Generally, it is eaten preserved or in bakery goods, such as fruitcakes. (The candied peel rather than the fruit is often used in cooking.) In some culture, it is made into a fruity tea. The citron is mostly grown near the Mediterranean, parts of India, and in Central and South America. Pliny the Elder states that in his time, despite attempts to transport it into the Roman Empire in tightly-packed pots, the citron could only be grown in Media and Persia (HN xii.7), although there is evidence pointing to its cultivation in the Mediterranean during his lifetime. Zohary and Hopf believe this tree was first domesticated in India, and speculate that its wild forms, along with those of the mandarin and pomelo, were the original citrus species.

The jar of citron is like a jar of marmalade. You jus mix it with water and "wa la", there u have it, your citron drink.

Bought mine recently from the korean supermarket at Bencoolen square. You can buy it from any supermarket. However, this brand taste quite good to me although there are many other brands.
