dawet ice drink

Dawet is a traditional drink from Java, Indonesia, similar to cendol but with some differences in its preparation and ingredients. Here are the main components of dawet:

1. Dawet: Green jelly similar to cendol, made from rice flour or mung bean flour mixed with pandan or suji leaf extract, which provides a natural green color and fragrant aroma.

2. Coconut Milk: Rich and creamy coconut milk, just like in cendol.

3. Palm Sugar Syrup: Sweet palm sugar syrup that gives a caramel-like flavor.

4. Ice: Shaved ice or ice cubes to provide a refreshing cold sensation.

5. Additional Ingredients: Some variations of dawet may include tape ketan (fermented glutinous rice), kolang-kaling (sugar palm fruit), or jackfruit to add different flavors and textures.

Dawet is often served in bowls or glasses and typically consumed with a spoon or straw. This drink is popular as a refreshing beverage, especially in Central and East Java. Like cendol, dawet offers a unique blend of freshness and deliciousness, making it a favorite among locals.
