Cheong (청; 淸) is a name for various sweetened foods in the form of syrups, marmalades, and fruit preserves. In Korean cuisine, cheong is used as a tea base, as a honey-or-sugar-substitute in cooking, as a condiment, and also as an alternative medicine to treat the common cold and other minor illnesses.[1][2][3]
Originally, the word cheong (청; 淸) was used to refer to honey in Korean royal court cuisine.[4] The name jocheong (조청; 造淸; "crafted honey") was given to mullyeot (liquid-form yeot) and other human-made honey-substitutes.[5][6] Now, honey is rarely called cheong in Korean, but is instead called kkul (꿀), which is the native (non-Sino-Korean) name for honey. The name kkul was used in the past, outside the royal court.
