A BUSY AUGUST; PART 1

COMPETITION ON MAKING DRINKS

This is the first post from a serial about our activities during August.

August 1, we started with a competition on making drinks.

That was about creation and innovation.

We have to use local product for these drinks.

Fruit, vegetable, cereal, grain, spices, herbs and many more be a great ingredient.

We only had a limited time to take a discussion what should we make in this competition.

There were seventy seven participants here.

All drink that preserved here was looked awesome and yummy too.

Looks so interesting...

So colorful...

Finally, we made a decision optimizing all that we have.

So, we used mostly fresh ingredients from our home garden.

Traditional spices that mostly used in Indonesian dishes.

Red ginger root, pandan leaves, mint, lemon grass, clove, sappan wood (Caesalpinia sappan), cardamomum fruit and palm sugar.  

We boiled the ingredients, then put it on the crockery pot for hot drink, and put in to the bottle for cool drink.

The aroma was so good... so spicy...!

I made the drink and my friend did presentation about this drink.

My friend did presentation to the judges very well.

Although we weren't a winner but we were so happy cause we got lots of lesson and experience here.
