Summer is fast approaching and now is the perfect time for you to seize the opportunity to sell drinks that will quench the thirst of Filipino consumers.
Sago’t gulaman is a popular local Filipino beverage made of gelatin, tapioca pearls, brown sugar and water. Sold almost everywhere in the country from karinderya to restaurants, this beverage is more popularly known as palamig which means refreshment in English. Usually placed in large plastic or glass jars, this concoction is served in generous amounts of ice.
This beverage is best paired with other Pinoy meriendas such as fishball, bananacue, siomai and pancit.
