Dawet Ayu, Banjarnegara

Directions

1. Prepare a container, then mix 100 grams of rice flour with 50 grams of potato starch. ≈ 4 min
2. Add 50 ml of water, then mix until you have a smooth, lump-free paste. ≈ 4 min
3. To achieve a characteristic aroma and green color, add a teaspoon of pandan leaf paste. ≈ 3 min
4. If you don’t have any, use another natural green color as an alternative. ≈ 3 min
5. Pour obtenir une texture vraiment lisse, pour each the mixture through a sieve. ≈ 3 min
6. This step is essential for achieving a finer and more elastic texture once consumed. ≈ 3 min
7. Boil 1 litre of water. ⏱ ≈ 10 min
8. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat, then slowly pour in the mixture while constantly stirring to prevent it from clumping together. ⏱ ≈ 10 min
9. Let it rest until the dough thickens and forms small balls. ⏱ ≈ 20 min
10. Immediately remove it, then immerse it in cold or ice water to stop the cooling process and maintain a soft texture. ⏱ ≈ 20 min
11. Mix 250 grams of high-quality palm sugar with 250 ml of water, then stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and incorporated into the water. ≈ 4 min
12. Next, filter the liquid to separate out impurities and residues. ≈ 2 min
13. This step allows for the production of a purer and more transparent syrup. ≈ 3 min
14. Heat the sugar solution to boiling, and observe a slight increase in viscosity. ⏱ ≈ 10 min
15. This step allows for the production of a more concentrated syrup that also has a longer shelf life. ≈ 3 min
16. Once the desired consistency is achieved, remove the container from the heat and allow it to cool completely before using it. ⏱ ≈ 20 min
17. First, prepare a young coconut, then grate the flesh and squeeze it to obtain approximately 200 ml of thick coconut milk. ≈ 8 min
18. Briefly heat the coconut milk until it is almost boiling, to help preserve its quality and prevent it from spoiling quickly. ⏱ ≈ 10 min
19. Avoid boiling it for too long, as this could cause it to explode. ⏱ ≈ 10 min
20. Next, allow the coconut cream to cool before using it as an addition to the dawet. ⏱ ≈ 20 min
21. First, use a measuring cup to pour out the desired amount of palm sugar syrup, creating a base. ≈ 2 min
22. Next, add the dawet, which have been soaked in cold water, to the glass. ≈ 3 min
23. The Dawet Ayu drink from Banjarnegara is also ready to be enjoyed cold, to fully appreciate its refreshing taste. ≈ 3 min
