Jamu colada

This is a Jamu Colada. Jamu juice is an Indonesian drink made with ginger and turmeric, and it’s pungent and tasty, but also VERY STRONG. I mixed it with lime juice and coconut cream to get a fancy “colada” with less bite and all the yumminess of your typical umbrella beverage.

Jamu Colada

  • 2 oz jamu juice
  • 2 oz coconut cream
  • 1 cup of ice
  • juice of 1/2 a lime

Blend all ingredients in a high-powered blender.

You can find lots of recipes for jamu juice. I adapted this one as follows:

Jamu Juice

  • 1/4 cup chopped ginger
  • 1/2 cup chopped tumeric
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • pinch of black pepper

Blend all ingredients in a high powered blender. Strain through a fine sieve or cloth into a jar. Store in the refrigerator.
