What is Wedang Ronde?

    Wedang Ronde is a traditional Indonesian dessert soup that originated in Java, and it is made from a mixture of glutinous rice flour, peanuts, and brown sugar. The soup is flavored with ginger, cinnamon, and pandan leaves, which give it a unique and delicious taste that is unlike anything else.

        The name "Ronde" comes from the small balls of glutinous rice flour that are added to the soup. These little balls are often filled with peanuts or sesame seeds, which add a delicious crunch to the dessert.
