Indonesia’s tropical heat is one of the main reasons that desserts with cooling
properties abound. Iced Sweet Green Beans is a local favorite on the streets of every

and impart a full-bodied flavor to the water. Sweetened with sugar and served over
ice, this is a fresh, nutritious alternative to heavier cakes and sweets.
