frOm sunda with spices
ingredients- serves 4
- 1000 ml water
- 200 grams of
palm sugar/ unrefined concentrated cane or date juice/ raspadura/ gula jawa
- 120 grams of
roasted ginger slices
- 2 cm or1 inch crushed
lemon grass
- 5 cm cinnamon
stick
- Half a pandan
leaf(screwpine/pandanus)- shred a little and knot it up
- 5 grains of
cloves
- 1 star anise
- 1 / 4 teaspoon
salt
- 1 tsp instant coffee if you like
Boil
water together with all the above except palm sugar.
Once
boiled, add palm sugar and simmer for 10 minutes.
I
feel it is best to taste and add what is lacking, you may want a little more sugar,
or perhaps you prefer extra ginger- continue to taste, simmer and taste until
the versatile bandrek seems perfect for your taste buds.
I
have reduced the pandan leaf to half piece only-was two pieces, but that’s me,
I don’t want it’s fragrant to be too strong, otherwise I feel like I am
drinking a dessert..and that is odd and alien to my senses.
Strain
and Serve hot.
Spiced and flavorful drink,healthy and refreshing,have these ingredients,so will surely try this..have a nice day
