Have ever felt so lazy or weak? I often feel the situation. My body has no much energy. I feel sleepy all the time. Old people often drink ginger and turmeric with coconut or brown sugar. It is easy to get turmeric and ginger here in our country. I live in Indonesia so there are a lot of herbs growing here.

I was not interested to what old people do here. I thought the drink was not delicious. However, I wanted to try. Finally I made the drink.

I just needed 2 cm or ginger and turmeric. I peel them and hit them on a grinder. After that I boiled around 200 ml water and put the turmeric and ginger in the boiling water. After a few minutes, I added 1 cm brown sugar. Not more than five minutes, the drink was ready.
