Hello Hive friends in this community, each country has its own special drink. and now I will make a drink to warm the body Where the ingredients needed are spices that are very easy to find in my yard, although there are some ingredients that I buy and always stock them at home.
the ingredients I need to make this bandrek are:
1. 50 grams of ginger.
Since ancient times, ginger has been proven to be effective in warming the body and eliminating colds. In addition, the benefits of ginger according to www.halodoc.com
. as an anti-aging and anti-cancer
. relieve menstrual pain
. strengthen the immune system
. Lower blood sugar and cholesterol
. overcome digestive problems
2. pandan
Pandan besides having a fragrant aroma is also beneficial for health and among them is almost the same as ginger, namely to overcome digestive problems and anti-cancer. To make this recipe I only use 2 old pandan leaves so that the fragrance is more fragrant
3. palm sugar
You can use honey, but the taste will be different so it is highly recommended to use this palm sugar, and in this recipe I only use 20 grams of palm sugar and I think that is more than enough to produce sweetness.
4. cardamom
This light little cardamom is not only useful for overcoming bad breath but also useful for breathing and like other ingredients also overcomes digestive problems. in this recipe use 2-3 cardamoms depending on the size of the cardamom.
5. lemongrass
there are many good things that we will get from consuming this lemongrass besides making the food fragrant, namely reducing cholesterol and improving sleep quality and in this bandrek recipe I only use 1 stalk of lemongrass
6. 300 ml of water.
How to make Bandrek is:
1. The first thing I do is make a knot on the pandan that I have previously washed and I put it in a pan
2. Then the second step is to crush the lemongrass so that the aroma comes out and combine it with the pandan leaves in the pan
3. Then I put in the palm sugar
4. Then I put in the cardamom
5. And the main ingredient I put in is ginger, but before that I peel it first, then I wash it and I grate it so that the heat is much stronger than if it had to be cut into pieces
6. Then I mix in the water.
7. And I cook everything on medium heat until it boils and turn off the stove.
8. After straining using a sieve until there is no dregs left, then you can enjoy it directly slowly.
This bandrek drink is very suitable to drink in the morning and evening because it can warm the body besides if you are a woman and have menstrual problems drinking this Bandrek slowly while it is warm will reduce your stomach pain. good luck and greetings from Maytom. Indonesia.
