Why people make this drink

In the heat of summer we sweat a lot, and if we don’t drink enough the urine can turn scanty and dark — a discomfort that bothers active kids most of all. Nourilo likes this one because store-bought drinks are usually loaded with sugar, while a homemade pot of imperata-root, sugarcane, water-chestnut and corn water is clear, naturally sweet, and gentle. It is traditionally enjoyed to clear summer heat and keep things flowing comfortably.
