But be sure not to bring it to a boil. Remove the scum, and simmer to thicken (ideally, do this in a double boiler). You can leave the ume juice as-is, but simmering it prevents it from fermenting, and you can store the juice for a long time." - "※ Note ※ Do not place a jar with a hot syrup from Step 7 in cold water to chill! My friend's jar of ume syrup jar broke because of this, and her week of hard work came to nothing." - "Dilute the syrup by 5-6 times to drink." - "FYI: When you remove the ume plums from the juice, if you find some ume plums that are not so wrinkled, remove the cores, chop them up finely, and simmer them to make ume jam.
