Popularly known as Kamias shake. Its too hot and I need something ice cold and slushy. We have leftover kamias in the fridge and they are perfectly ripe.Here's the ingredients:
- kamias
- crushed ice
- sugar
Here, we usually use kamias when cooking Sinigang when we don't have tamarind at hand.
According to Mr. Wikipedia:
"In the Philippines, the leaves serve as a paste on itches, swelling, rheumatism, mumps or skin eruptions. Elsewhere, they are used for bites of poisonous creatures. A leaf infusion is efficient against or as an after-birth tonic, while the flower infusion is used for thrush, cold, and cough. Malaysians use fermented or fresh bilimbi leaves to cure venereal diseases."
Well, I don't know about venereal disease but I know it will do wonders on my cold and phlegm since it is pack with Vitamin C.
