Loloh cemcem

(Loloh cem-cem)

Loloh cemcem is a traditional Balinese drink, made from a mixture of natural ingredients known for their health benefits. The primary components of loloh cemcem include leaves from the cemcem plant (a type of local shrub), jatropha leaves, betel leaves, dadap leaves, palm sugar, and sometimes lime.


These ingredients are crushed or blended together, then mixed with water to create a healthful drink. The cemcem leaves are believed to have medicinal properties, including aiding digestion and boosting the immune system. The addition of palm sugar and tamarind not only enhances the flavor, making it sweet and slightly tangy, but also adds to the nutritional value of the drink. Loloh cemcem is typically consumed to refresh the body, particularly during hot weather, and to benefit from its natural healing properties.
