These ingredients are known for their health benefits, particularly in boosting the immune system, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. By following these steps, you can create your own herbal remedy at home.

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Before starting, ensure you have the following fresh ingredients:

• Ginger (Jahe)
• Turmeric (Kunyit)
• Temulawak (Curcuma zanthorrhiza)
• Lemongrass (Sereh)

Additionally, you will need:

• A clean cutting board
• A sharp knife
• A blender or food processor
• A fine sieve or cloth for filtering
• An airtight container for storage

Step 2: Prepare the Ingredients

Follow these sub-steps to prepare your ingredients:

1. Wash the Ingredients: Rinse all the herbs thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt.
2. Peel the Roots:
   • Peel the ginger and turmeric with a knife or peeler.
   • Temulawak should also be peeled to remove the outer skin.
3. Chop the Ingredients: Cut the ginger, turmeric, and temulawak into small pieces to facilitate blending.

Step 3: Blend the Ingredients

1. Combine Ingredients: Place the chopped ginger, turmeric, temulawak, and lemongrass into the blender.
2. Add Water: Add a small amount of water to help the blending process.
3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth, thick consistency.

Step 4: Strain the Mixture

1. Prepare for Straining: Set up your fine sieve or cloth over a bowl.
2. Pour the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture into the sieve.
3. Extract the Juice: Use a spoon or spatula to press down and extract as much liquid as possible. This will leave you with a concentrated herbal juice.

Step 5: Dry the Herbal Juice

1. Spread the Juice: Pour the extracted juice onto a clean tray or baking sheet in a thin layer.
2. Drying Process:
   • Place the tray in a warm, dry area to let it air dry (this may take several hours).
   • Alternatively, you can use a dehydrator or an oven set to low heat (around 50°C or 122°F) to speed up the drying process.
3. Check for Dryness: The mixture is ready when it is completely dry and crumbly.

Step 6: Grind the Dried Mixture

1. Transfer to Grinder: Place the dried herbal mixture into a blender or spice grinder.
2. Grind to Powder: Grind until you achieve a fine powder consistency.

Step 7: Store the Herbal Powder

1. Transfer to Container: Carefully transfer the herbal powder into an airtight container.
2. Label and Date: Label the container with the ingredients and the date of preparation.
3. Storage: Store in a cool, dark place to maintain potency.
