Hi, how are you friends? Hopefully you are always healthy wherever you are. What drink have you made today? Today I made "KUNYIT ASAM" a herbal drink that Indonesians really like because it has many benefits. Indonesians believe that drinking kunyit asam can help soothe the stomach during menstruation. Apart from that, it is said to help eliminate body odor and also make the stomach more comfortable.
"Kunyit Asam" itself is a herbal drink made by mixing kunyit means turmeric, asam means tamarind, and gula merah means brown sugar. The third ingredient is cooked in such a way that it becomes a refreshing and healthy drink. "Kunyit Asam" can be enjoyed warm or drunk with ice cubes.
For friends who like warm drinks, this is very suitable for you to enjoy during winter. The freshness from the sweet and sour sugar with the sensation of turmeric makes this drink very suitable to be enjoyed and for friends who prefer cold drinks, this is very suitable if you add ice cubes when serving.
What if we go straight to the manufacturing process and the materials needed? Let's get started
Material :
22 grams of Turmeric
8 grams of cooked tamarind
53 grams of brown sugar
Pinch of salt
How To Make
Prepare all the ingredients then chop the brown sugar and turmeric.
In a pan, heat 500 ml of water until it boils.
Add the chopped brown sugar and turmeric and add a pinch of salt to make it taste better. Cook until the sugar dissolves
In another place, prepare 50 ml of warm water, add the cooked tamarind then stir, take the water and separate the tamarind seeds.
Put the tamarind water into a pan containing the sugar and turmeric which has begun to dissolve, stir evenly and taste the taste. If it is suitable, you can cook it again for about 1 minute then turn off the heat on the stove.
Don't forget to filter out the remaining turmeric pulp before serving.
Kunyit asam drink is ready to be served.
To make this drink, friends, you can do it in 2 ways, namely by grinding the turmeric with a grater/blender or just by slicing the turmeric, if you want a color that is more like turmeric you can use granulated sugar or reduce the amount of brown sugar, everything can be adjusted to your taste.
That's all for today's drink recipe, I hope you like it and thank you for supporting me. See you
