  • 3 kaffir lime leaves
  • ¼ nutmeg
  • 2 pandan leaves
  • 1 bunch of sappan wood bark

This signature drink of the Betawi, or Batavian, indigenous people of Jakarta, is actually not a beer. Its red color is naturally from shaved sappan wood, and its rich flavor comes from a variety of spices, neither fermentation nor alcohol.

Steps

  1. Bring all ingredients to a boil on low heat until fragrant
  2. Remove from heat
  3. Strain and serve

 

Hints

  • You can replace coconut sugar with palm sugar
  • If you can't find the sappan wood bark, use red food-grade colorant instead
