  • 1/2 cinnamon stick
  • Juice and zest of 1 organic lime
  • 1 tsp light brown cane sugar

Preparation

1) Wash kumquats in hot water, cut them in fine rings and remove the stones (if there are any). Briefly boil up syrup, ginger, cinnamon, lime juice and cane sugar. Place the pot aside, add kumquat slices as well as their juice and allow to cool off.
