Most of the people think that the jamu cabe puyang is made from chilies. It is true that this jamu is made from chilies, but the chili in question is not the spice chili which is often used to make sambal (chili sauce). The chili for this jamu is cabai Jawa (Javanese chili, Piper retrofractum) or commonly known as cabai jamu (herbal chili). The taste is a little spicy as the name implies.
The benefits of cabe puyang are not inferior to other herbs. This jamu can improve digestion, reduce fatigue and soreness, maintain healthy skin, relieve tooth pain, and increase appetite.
Well, if you are curious about the taste, you can buy it at a jamu seller, or you can mix it yourself. The ingredients and how to make it are easy, let’s follow these steps!
Ingredients:
- 1 ounce of dried cabai Jawa
- ½ kg wet Puyang/lempuyang (bitter ginger, Zingiber zerumbet)
- ½ ounce temulawak (Java ginger, Curcuma zanthorrhiza )
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 ½ lt warm water
How to make:
- Wash all ingredients clean
- Mash until smooth
- Add salt and make sure it’s mixed
- Enter the mash into the water then filter the water for consumption
It’s easy, right? These ingredients are easily found in traditional markets. If you have trouble finding all the ingredients, you can always buy them through an online buying and selling application.
