Method
Washing Raspberries
- In a washing bowl, put the raspberries. Add lukewarm water to the bowl until the raspberries submerge.
- Sprinkle the baking soda in the bowl, and add vinegar to the water. Mix.
- Wash raspberries with a gentle motion. Raspberries are very soft and can be mushed easily.

- Take out the raspberries from the water and drain the water well. Leave the raspberries on a towel and let them dry thoroughly.

Disinfecting the Glass jar
- In a pot, add water again. Take the glass jar you want to put your tangerine cheong in and put it upside down. Bring it to a boil.

- Do not put a glass jar straight into boiling water. It can break the glass. Put the glass in the pot first, then bring it to a boil slowly.
- Slowly bring the water to a boil. Let the glass jar be disinfected with boiling water. Once the water starts to boil, turn down the heat to medium-high. Let it boil for about 5 minutes.
- Take out the glass jar and let it completely dry.
Making Raspberry Cheong
- Add all the dried raspberries to the disinfected glass jar. Add sugar in between the raspberries.

- Mash the raspberries with a dry wooden spatula so the raspberry juices ooze out and the sugar is well mixed.

- Then pour the syrup on top. The syrup will drip down to the bottom naturally. Close the jar.
- Leave the jar in a cool, dark place for several days. Check your raspberry cheong and mix thoroughly every day until the sugar dissolves.
- Store the syrup in a separate jar or bottle. Store it in the fridge for up to 3 months. It can naturally ferment as time passes. Enjoy!
