These Are The Typical Drinks And Ice Cream of My Country, Indonesia

Bir pletok. Even though it's called beer, this typical Betawi drink is halal. This drink contains absolutely no alcohol. Made from boiling various spices which can warm the body, including ginger, cinnamon, lemongrass, coffee and secang wood.

This drink has the effect of improving blood flow. It is said that the name pletok beer came from the Betawi people who were very rich. They often hang out with Dutch people. They saw that when this ginger based drink was shaken and poured into a glass, foam appeared at the top, just like the beer that Dutch people usually drank,

Apart from that, Betawi people also believe that the name pletok comes from the sound of ice cubes when shaken and producing the sound of pletok pletok. Plus the emergence of foam similar to beer, which ultimately inspired the mention of the name pletok beer. With the process of making pletok beer which uses various spices, such as ginger, cloves, cardamom and so on, means this drink is healthy for our bodies. I'm curious what the benefits are for our bodies.

Hmmm.....can we consume it often?
For pletok beer, the basic ingredient for the mixture is ginger. And if it's secang, that's typical Betawi food. Well, if ginger is very good for health. So we know that this ginger contains several enzymes. Namely the enzymes protease, and mityase, so if we consume them, they help the process of absorption and digestion of fats and proteins, so they improve the process of digestion.

Then it also contains vitochemical substances which can prevent irritation of the stomach. So overall beer pletok is not alcohol, but a spice which can improve a person's digestive process. So those who think beer pletok is alcohol, you are all wrong.

Well, the typical Betawi drink is not only pletok beer, there are four types of other drinks which are typical of Betawi, which are of course refreshing when drunk.
