Bael:

Traditionally an offering to Shiva, we discovered this stuff at a restaurant in a fancy mall in Thailand and loved it. I bought a 500g bag of fruit at the big market in Bangkok a few days ago and just brewed some up. It is excellent stuff and very tasty. Anyone else tried it or drink it regularly?

Re: Bael Tea
I used to drink it a couple of times a month--cold. Actually forgot about it, but I am in Thailand where it is sold cold some places & will give another try. A good routine-breaker.
I did buy some to prepare myself years ago & did not like it so much, probably because I was not willing to add as much sugar as the vendors do.

Re: Bael Tea
That's true, the matoom that was served in the mall was so sweet it was like syrup, and my brother actually went looking for bael syrup to reconstitute! I think it tastes amazing, even without sugar. Finding it in the jatujak was a pure stroke of luck!
Where in Thailand are you?

Re: Bael Tea
jayinhk, I'm in Chiangmai now for about 3 more weeks. A lot of rain but it is still pleasant.
Re: Bael Tea
Ethan, lucky you, wish I was in Chiang Mai! Would love another amulet for the collection if you're doing any temple visits.
