Kunir Asem by Jamu "Jendong"

I made my first batch of jamu, yesterday and did this very quick sketch as I assembled the ingredients to make Kunir Asem. Turmeric, tamarind, palm sugar to taste, 1 1/2 glasses of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil in a saucepan and chill. Turmeric has quite a staining power on fingers and can you imagine what it could do to teeth! So, I delicately hold it with my fingers and drink my jamu with a straw.

ave been readin a recently published very scientific anti-cancer diet book and tumeric is highly rated in it - must be combined with pepper, it says.
