Beside Es Campur (iced mix), Es teler is another mix ice that Indonesians are fond of. The Westerners may think es teler as a cold dessert but the Indonesian categorizes it as a beverage 
The basic es teler mainly uses avocado, jackfruit and young coconut meat. However many people add different things such as toddy palm (siwalan), attap fruit (kolang-kaling), agar-agar noodle, nata de coco, durian pulp etc; whatever you like the sky is the limit:). This es teler recipe is my interpretation of my favourite es teler Handayani which was sold mobile in its small food truck surround Surabaya area. As I recalled I like the taste of es teler Handayani than 77 that has more than 200 franchise outlets in Indonesia and has branched out to Singapore, Malaysia and Australia as well.
Even though, I have the access of fresh jackfruit but this time I used a can of jackfruit that I have bought a month ago. I also figured out the key of making es teler is the coconut pandan syrup. Indonesians love their cocopandan syrup and I still have a bottle of it in my pantry but I wanted to make my own by mixing coconut milk, coconut water, pandan leaves and sugar.
This post post is my participation for IDFB Challenge 3 (Indonesian Beverages) and might be better for those who live on the Southern hemisphere or in warmer regions however Winnipeg’s weather is warmer compare to last winter. Who cares having icy cold thing in the middle of February!

I just got back from my bike ride and am feeling hot and thirsty. This is perfect! And I love the retro, 60′s mood you’ve tinted your photos in…..
Ahh yes hot weather! Es teler would be great to cool down. Thanks Shirley! In the mood of retro style lately
mbak pepp…..amazing deh ! itu Thailand yang bikin Young Coconut water…! inget pengalaman masak di Beijing product buah kaleng ada semua …made in Thailand…
ini yang young coconut water kalengan punya Vietnam. Tapi kl di natural health store yg botol2 punya Thailand
Ya ampun Pep….Modal banget ya kalo bikin es teler di sana. Buahnya kalengan semua
Justru kl gw beli segar lbh mahal boo. Kyk nangka segar, kelapa utuh. Plus labournya lbh gede :
We have drinks like this in the Philippines but as separate individual drinks. In other words, not a combination of three goodies like coconut, jack fruit, and avocado in one glass. I am definitely making this, Pepy.
Looking forward what you thought after making it, Ray!
Drool, drool and drool…that’s all you made me to do! Yummy!!!
Hahaha you do the same
This sounds perfect for a hot summer day. Your pics are making this drink so tempting! Bookmarking this delightful post.
