Nici Wickes: Indonesian Jamu

Publish Date

A Jamu is a traditional Indonesian herbal tonic that is used to promote health and vitality.
I take about 100mls a day - it's really good for joint pain, takes inflammation out of your bod

y and has me springing out of bed of a morning!

100 grams fresh tumeric (looks like Ginger and best to use fresh. Give a quick scrub, don't need to peel.)
40 grams ginger (again a quick scrub)
Chop up and put in a big pot with about 2 litres of water, bring to the boil.
After it's come to the boil, a one tablespoon of Tamarind puree.
I like to put in a big piece of orange peel for taste!
1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
Boil until the ginger etc is starting to get soft and then put in a high speed blender or Nutribullet - It will be a beautiful vibrant yellow!

You can sweeten it with honey if you want to, but I don't tend to.
