Made from a variety of locally grown herbs, drinking a daily dose of Jamu, is one of the most popular and widespread rituals in Indonesia. This herbal drink has been known to increase immunity, detox your gut and replenish your body with antioxidants, helping to give you a natural boost.
Here we bring you the lowdown on this Indonesian anti-inflammatory elixir health drink and we give you a recipe so you can make it yourself.
While you may not have heard of Jamu, it is an ancient Indonesian traditional herbal drink and
according to Wikipedia it’s actually been around for 1300 years. Traditionally, it’s the females in the family that mix the tonics and pass down the recipes to the next generation. A recent trend for health drinks like Kombucha and Rosella has resurrected the interest in Jamu.
Jamu Kunyit Asam as the traditional format is known is a turmeric tonic which is made of five
main ingredients: turmeric palm sugar, ginger, tamarind and water.
There are so many health benefits to drinking Jamu. Tamarind, tumeric and ginger in
particular are renowned for their numerous health benefits so you can imagine when these
three are combined, it is a powerful, healthy potion that is created.
Tamarind:
Antioxidant, good for stomach aches and constipation, weight loss and managing sugar levels.
Turmeric:
Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant can help depression, heart disease and arthritis.
Ginger:
Anti bacterial, germs and inflammation, digestive health and cramps.
Honey:
Lowers blood pressure, heart and eye health due to antioxidants.
Jamu tastes quite bitter. Some people choose to add more honey or fresh juice to sweeten it up.
You can drink Jamu hot or cold – however you prefer.
Jamu should not be consumed in large volumes. A small glass a day will keep the doctor away. We serve a shot with breakfast to all our guests to start the day in a healthy way.
Jamu simply means herb – and there are many different versions of this. Often tailored to
ease certain medical conditions. Indonesia Tourism list 10 different types in their feature:
Why not experiment by adding some of your own herbs and spices to create new flavours?
Or if you are coming to Bawah be sure to book in for our Jamu making Workshop :
In our Jamu making class you will discover the ancient techniques of Jamu creation, and prepare
your own-using organic ingredients, and then enjoy your hard work.
Do send us photos of your own Jamu creations and stay well!
