Kumquat Tea with Salted Plum

Tac Xi Muoi tea is a drink made from freshly squeezed kumquat juice, brewed together with tea and xi muoi (sweet and salty preserved plum), usually served with ice. The tangy, refreshing sourness of tắc (calamansi) blends with the salty-sweet and lightly sour taste of preserved plum, along with a lingering tea aftertaste, creating a thirst-quenching sensation that isn't spicy at all. This drink is usually served cold with a straw, and you can even chew on the preserved plum or the piece of kumquat left in the glass.
