The ingredients are simple and can be found in local market, to those who live in Western region such as America/Europe, you can find it in Asian stores.

So my recipe is:

500 gr of Turmeric

150 gr of Ginger

1 lemongrass

50 gr of Tamarind

4-5 table spoon of palm sugar/brown sugar

1/2 teaspoon of salt (do not skip)

1 table spoon of Goji Berry (optional)

1 pot of water / +/- 2 Liter of water

The following steps are:

  1. Cut into thin slices the turmeric and ginger

  2. Put together all the ingredients in the pot

  3. Boil in medium heat for about 30 minutes and switch to low heat for another 10 minutes.

  4. Strain all the ingredients and let it chill

You can enjoy it both hot or cold. My favorite is cold but sometimes in raining/cold season it could help to warm your body.

I usually do not throw the leftover spices, I recook it and get the lighter version drink. Still delicious though.

Turmeric Tamarind home remedy has many benefits. It can help to boost your body immune and lower blood pressure. Asians especially Indonesians like to drink this and for little children, turmeric is one of herbal medicine which can help to increase appetite. We usually give this to the fussy eater.

PS: If you want to have a denser thicker drink, you can blend all the ingredients except goji berry and tamarind. Cook and strain it.

Thank you for reading

Dear Pak @BudiFXW

Jamu kunyit asam is easy to make and the ingredients are available daily in our traditional market. I usually recook it 2-3 times before I throw away the pulps.

I do agree especially during rainy days or cold weather it is served best hot, it could help clear our throat and make our tummy warmer.

How are you by the way? During WFH, any progress on Google Maps contributions?

I honestly have no clue besides editing my typo on reviews, editing wrong map marker and writing reviews on my take away delivery food. I want to go out badly and take pictures like I used to do
