Korean Honey Citron Tea (柚子茶 ) Muffins

  I added a few tablespoonfuls of Korean Honey Citron Tea or Yuzu marmalade to a basic muffin recipe and the muffins were delicious. They were soft, nice, not crumbly with a bit of tangy taste of the Yuzu, well accompanied with a cup of piping hot coffee or tea. These muffins taste best when eaten warm.   A few teaspoonfuls of the marmalade mixed with water can be turned into a hot or cold drink to soothe the throat especially if there's a first sign of a cough.
