  • Rinse the rice and then discard the dirty water. In a bowl, cover the uncooked rice (preferably whole grain) with cold water and let it soak for 3/4 hours.
  • Peel the ginger, galangal and chop the turmeric.
  • Place the soaked rice (without the starchy water, which you'll discard) in a blender, along with the chopped spices, tamarind paste, and sugar. Blend well. Add a glass of fresh water if necessary.
  • Remove the mixture from the blender and place it in a large saucepan. Add the lime, 1/2 liter of fresh water, and a pinch of salt. Stir constantly over medium heat for 5 minutes, until simmering. Don't let it boil too much, or the rice will cook.
  • Remove from heat and add 1 liter of fresh water.
  • Using a sieve, pass the mixture through a sieve, stirring it well with a teaspoon.
  • Allow the preparation to cool and then consume. Store any unused portions in a glass bottle in the refrigerator so you have them ready for each daily dose. Refrigerated product can be kept for 4-5 days.
