Es buah

Es buah is a cherished Indonesian iced fruit cocktail dessert, especially popular during Ramadan as a refreshment for iftar, the meal to break the fast. This invigorating treat is prepared by combining diced fruits such as honeydew, cantaloupe, pineapple, papaya, squash, jackfruit, and kolang kaling with shaved ice or ice cubes. Liquid sugar or syrup is added to enhance its sweetness.

You can also incorporate other fruits like mango, watermelon, or longan, and even some imported varieties like lychee, kiwi, strawberry, pear, peach, or grapes. For an additional twist, ingredients such as agar-agar jelly, grass jelly, seaweed, or nata de coco can be included.

Es buah bears similarities to other Indonesian desserts like es campur and es teler, yet it boasts its own distinctive blend of ingredients. It's a delightful and refreshing way to savor a variety of fruits!
