Gather @yuzu{500%g} and @pine nut{1%tbsp}.

Scrub the citrus well in warm @water{250%ml}, dry, halve, and flick out every seed you can find.

Slice the fruit, peel and all, into the thinnest strips you can manage.

Toss the strips with the @sugar{350%g} and @honey{150%g} until every piece is coated and the sugar starts to slick.

Pack into a sterilized jar, press down so syrup covers the fruit, and let it macerate in the fridge for at least 24 hours. ~{1%hours}

To serve, stir 2 generous tablespoons of the citron syrup into a mug of hot water, fruit strips and all, and float a few pine nuts on top.
