Wedang coro is a typical drink from Pati Regency, Central Java. At first glance, the name is similar to a drink from Jepara City, namely herbal adon-adon coro, but in fact it is not the same and is even very different in terms of the ingredients used and the taste. However, wedang coro is almost similar to a typical Betawi drink, namely beer pletok.
The word "wedang coro" comes from Javanese, namely "wedang" means "drink", while "coro" means "way". If translated in terms, it means drinking through several methods/stages.
This traditional drink has been passed down from generation to generation. Initially, the sellers peddled on foot. However, now many people are switching to motorbikes.
