Why Korean Fruit Syrup?

Korean fruit syrups have recently gained popularity around the world, with many influencers sharing recipes and creative ways to enjoy them.Internationally, people often refer to these syrups as "Korean-style syrup" or simply "Cheong" — a nod to their traditional Korean roots.


Korean fruit syrups are often made with strawberries, grapefruits, or plums. While these fruits are delicious, they tend to have higher acidity, which can irritate sensitive bladders. For those managing bladder health, peach syrup is a much safer and gentler choice. Peaches are naturally sweet, mild in flavor, and low in acidity, making them ideal for a bladder-friendly drink.


Unlike commercial sodas, Korean fruit syrups are free from carbonation and harsh additives. When made with gentle fruits like peaches, they offer a naturally refreshing experience without irritating your bladder.


How to Make a Simple Bladder-Friendly Fruit Syrup

Making fruit syrup is surprisingly simple — in Korea, even kindergarten children enjoy making it as a fun kitchen activity! So don’t worry — anyone can do it. Just take your time, and you’ll have a delicious, bladder-friendly syrup ready to enjoy.


Sterilize a glass jar by boiling it in hot water and letting it dry completely.
  1. Peel and pit the peaches, then cut them into bite-sized pieces.

  2. Mix the peaches and sugar at a 1:1 ratio (adjust to 1:0.7 if the peaches are very sweet).

  3. Place the mixture into the sterilized jar and leave it at room temperature for 1–2 days until the sugar fully dissolves.

  4. Once the sugar dissolves, transfer the syrup to the refrigerator for storage.


Tip: Always use ripe fruits with a mild, sweet flavor to avoid bladder irritation.
