Water extraction of Suguk (Hydrangea serrata Seringe) was conducted for optimum condition of beverage processing on the boil or dip in water. Extraction samples for sensory evaluation (color, flavor, sweetness, bitterness, astringency) of the plant were boiled in water ranging 0.1%∼0.4% (w/v) or dipped in water ranging 0.2%∼1.0% (w/v) during 2 min. Samples boiled in water were evaluated low sensory quality with strong bitter and astringent taste. Samples dipped in water showed higher value than that boiled in water on the sensory evaluation. Sample 0.5% (w/v) dipped in water at 10$0^{\circ}C$ during 2 min. was decided as an optimum condition for beverage processing of the plant.
