Calamansi Lime Juice With Sour Kana (Air Limau Asam Boi)

Sweltering heat and haze... weather especially hot and humid. Wouldn't want to go out unless necessary because the heat from the sun seems to prick through the skin. So a glass of cool drink slowly entering the throat and cooling down a simmering body would be wonderful. When we mix the drink ourselves, we could make as much as we want at minimum cost, drink as much as we want and most important needn't go out to get one because it's so hot outside! By the time we return, we are heating up again! Really envy those staying in cool temperate countries for now.....

Ingredients :   2 calamansi limes (limau kasturi)- squeeze out the juice
                     1 sour kana (asam boi)- cut / chop flesh
                     2 tpsn white sugar (gula)- to taste or could be omitted
                     1/4 glass hot water ( air panas)
                     1/2 glass water ( air)
                      ice cubes (ais ketul)


Put sour kana and sugar into a tall glass. Add hot water and stir. Then mix with water and lime juice. Lastly add ice to the brim. Now you have a nice glass of refreshing cool drink to quench your thirst and to cool down.

Prescription :  Keeping the body hydrated is important.
