• 00:45

  "The Art of Bottling Time and Tradition" Unlock the secrets of Damgeumju, the centuries-old Korean tradition of medicinal and artisanal fruit infusions. This class isn’t just about making a drink; it’s about patience, aesthetics, and personal storytelling. What is Damgeumju? Historically, Korean households would infuse seasonal fruits, wild herbs, and flowers into high-proof spirits to create "functional" liquors believed to aid health or celebrate special milestones. Today, it has evolved into a trendy, visual craft that sits beautifully on any home bar. Class Highlights: Curated Ingredients: Choose from a seasonal array of premium ingredients, ranging from deep-red dried hibiscus and tart green plums to exotic ginseng or fragrant strawberries. The Science of Infusion: Learn the precise ratios of sugar, alcohol volume, and ingredient prep required to ensure your liquor ages perfectly without spoiling. Aesthetic Layering: We guide you through the "visual assembly," teaching you how to layer ingredients inside your glass jar to create a stunning piece of "living decor." Custom Labeling: Every bottle tells a story. You’ll design a custom tag including the bottling date, ingredients, and the "open-on" date—usually 3 to 6 months in the future. Why Join? This class is perfect for those who enjoy a "slow" hobby. You leave with a beautiful 500ml or 1L jar that will slowly change color and flavor over time, making it the perfect sentimental gift or a treat for your future self.
