Have you ever used dragon fruit skin as a natural dye? Now I will use dragon fruit skin to make a delicious drink. So besides the fresh flesh, the skin can also be used as a natural dye after being dried in the sun or baked. And this can last longer. I made a warm drink when the sun was hot after 1 week in a row because I was worried that my body would catch a cold because drinking ice when it was hot was very delicious but I forgot a little about the side effects on my body. For that I made this warm drink so that my condition was much fresher and free from the flu.
The ingredients I need to make this afternoon drink are
1. Washed dried dragon fruit skin 1-2 stalks only
2. 2 segments of lemongrass
3. Ginger as needed or 1 thumb size for an adult
4. 1 Kasturi orange
5. Nutmeg syrup 3 tablespoons
6. 250 ML of water.
The way I make this drink is:
1. I prepare water in a pan then I put in the dragon fruit skin that I have cut earlier
2. After that I crush the ginger that I have peeled and washed until clean and I put it in my pan
3. After that I give the same treatment to the lemongrass that I have washed and crushed and I put it in the pan but because this lemongrass is too long I cut it and only take the base.
4. After that I cook it over high heat until it boils.
5. After it boils I lift it and put it in a glass then I put Nutmeg Syrup in it.
6. Then after that I squeeze the lime into it and this warm drink is done and can be drunk immediately.
The resulting taste here is fresh because the orange and warm ginger and fragrant lemongrass are one. If this drink is already at room temperature and you want to add ice cubes to it, it's okay because the weather conditions in my place and your place must be different. At the stage of this drink given ice cubes, this drink becomes very fresh and the sensation is clearly different. And I actually prefer it if given ice cubes but because the current weather does not support me, I will consume it when it is warm even though when I consume it all my sweat comes out but my body condition is better than before. And this drink is drunk in cold or warm conditions, it all depends on each individual. Greetings from me maytom Indonesia.
