Omija-hwachae (오미자화채; 五味子花菜) or magnolia berry punch is a sweet and tangy hwachae (punch) made with magnolia berries—omija in Korean.[2] The reddish-pink punch is typically served during hot summer days.[3]

Preparation

The base is made by infusing dried magnolia berries in water until the color develops, sieving the liquid through a fine cloth, then sweetening with honey, sugar or syrup.[2] It is served with decorative slices of pear and pine nuts floating at the top.[2]
