Enduring hunger and thirst is a special test during the month of Ramadan. This is meant so that we understand how hard hunger and thirst are for some of the poor on earth, so that we continue to share our sustenance with others. Hunger and thirst are not easy matters, this also has an impact on our emotions as humans to always be patient in all trials.
Fasting is an important thing for us as humans, I'm lucky to be able to do it because fasting also helps us control diseases in the body. I once read a journal, that fasting can be a body detox in maintaining the body, so fasting is highly recommended for a healthier and fitter body.
In my family, when breaking the fast, there are things that are important to do, namely gathering just before breaking the fast in the afternoon. This activity is intended so that we can always live the hospitality during the month of Ramadan. Usually, we schedule to break the fast together at least once every 2 weeks. Well, what I often do is prepare food for breaking the fast, such as takjil (usually in the form of cakes and appetizers), the main menu and refreshing drinks. I like to make food and drinks when breaking the fast because they are definitely in demand and are eaten by everyone, even if the food I make isn't special.
My husband, is a very enthusiastic person when breaking the fast, he will always ask me to make various foods and drinks. At this time, he said he really wanted to break the fast with an amazing drink, it felt like today's fasting was too hard for him because the sun was very hot today. yes, I feel today like being in the desert, so stinging and makes me weak all day.
I thought about making a special drink, I was reminded of a drink that I often order while watching movies in theaters. Cinema XXI has its own cafe and has always been my favorite when I want to eat and drink before entering the theater. So, this drink is the signature of the Cinema XXI cafe. I so want to try it for iftar drinks today.
Lemongrass Tea Signature Cinema XXI
I named the drink as above, because this is really a dupe of Cinema XXI's signature tea. Before making it, first to prepare some materials such as:
Ingredients;
- 1 tsp black tea powder
- 7 tsp sugar
- 200 ml of nata de coco
- 2 sticks of lemongrass
- 7 pcs of musk oranges or 1 lemon
- 1 tsp chia seed
- 500 liters of water
How to make Lemongrass Tea Signature Cinema XXI;
- Take 1 spoon of chia seeds, then stir and soak for 5 minutes. Use water that is cooked and warm to make it easier for the chia seed to expand perfectly.
- Clean the lemon grass and musk or lemon. Then cut the lemongrass and add 500 ml of water, then boil until the water boils. And also split into 2 parts of the musk orange, then squeeze and put into the teapot.
- After the lemongrass water boils, strain it and mix it with the black tea, then strain it again and mix it with the musk orange juice in the teapot. Combine with sugar and stir until dissolved.
- Put the nata de coco and chia seed into the teapot, also add enough ice cubes.
