Learn to make comforting and tasty Sweet Wedang with Herbs Aroma at home with this step-by-step recipe!
Kitchenesia.com - From March to April, Indonesia's wheater is transitioning from wet to dry season. The temperature and weather change rapidly in a span of a day only. Blistering sun blustered over commuters in the morning; at night, rain pouring heavily.
The unpredictability makes everyone prone to diseases like flu or even dengue. Before taking a handful of supplements, it is much better to work on some homemade tonic made of natural herbs to strengthen the body's immune system.
Wedang rempah gula merah (sweet warm ginger drink with herbs) is a perfect go-to drink to consume daily during the transitioning season. Variants of herbs like lemongrass and ginger not only make this tonic healthy but also aromatic.
