Kamote juice, anyone?

Served to guests during visits at the Santa Barbara, Iloilo Centennial Museum , this cranberry juice look-alike is actually kamote juice . While most asks how was the juice extracted from the rootcrop, it is the red kamote tops (leaves) that creates this wonderful hue for the refreshing drink.  Red kamote leaves are boiled until the juices (that comes with the colour and flavour) are extracted. It is then set aside to cool down after which fresh calamansi juice is added to create a mix of flavour - citrussy and err, kamote . But the flavour of the latter  is very evident in every sip, as long as the ration of the citrus and sugar are kept into a manageable level. Just another easy to prepare refreshing and kamote-licious drink even at home. But looking for red kamote tops is another story for it is not as common in the wet market. Good luck!
