This is one refreshing drink that is good for our hot and humid weather. However, the calamansi has first to be pickled in sugar, together with salted sour plums, before we can get to enjoy the drink.

Ingredients:
2 kg Calamansi (Limau Kasturi), 250 gm Salted Sour Plums, 1 kg Brown
Sugar
|
 |
Wash
and drip dry calamansi
|
 |
Cut
calamansi into half but not right through it.
Insert a salted sour plum into the calamansi |
 |
Layer
the fruits in a glass bottle
|
 |
Top
each layer of calamansi with brown sugar
|
 |
The
final layer at the top is brown sugar.
Cover and leave it to pickle at room temperature. |
After a few days, the sugar would have melted. A point to note is that the calamansi must always be covered with the sugar syrup. So if need be, add more sugar or honey. Let the fruits pickle for about a month and the drink will be ready to be served.
To serve, put a calamansi with the salted sour
plum, together with some of the syrup, in a glass. Add some water and ice
cubes....and enjoy!
A simple drink that truly refreshes...
