Bandrek is a traditional beverage of the
Sundanese, the people who live in
West Java,
Indonesia. The Sundanese people who live in the highland's cool climate love to consume bandrek to warm themselves at night and during cold weather. This beverage is usually made of ginger (
“jahe”), and other ingredients such as cinnamon (
“kayu manis”), star anise, cloves, coriander seeds, cardamom pods, lemongrass, Indonesian palm sugar (
“gula merah”), and chillies. Milk can be added or not, depending on one’s taste. Sweet, condensed coconut milk (
“susu kelapa”) is commonly used, and sometimes pieces of young coconut flesh are added as well. It is believed that bandrek has a healing effect on minor problems, such as sore throat.
