Kunyit Asam – A Sour Tamarind

In Summer time somehow drinking is more essential than eating. Even the thoughts of cooking, in our lovely cozy aka small kitchen is too much. And in Indonesia we do love to make this sweet lil Jamoe Kunyit Asam just to quench the thirst or for purely health’s reasons. I take it to reduce or at least reducing my monthly crampings since it is helping the “flows”. And this drink can fresh the  body odor in our monthly times. At least those are the notions that we Javanese people knows and believes, including me😝. So here I am going to share my simple way in making this wonderful drink.

1,5 tsp curcuma powder

4 pieces cloves

1/2 tsp cinnamon powder

1 tsp tamarind paste

250 gr brown sugar

4 glasses water

How to
