The process starts with the woman carefully breaking green glass bottles into small pieces.
She uses a wok over an open fire to heat the glass until it melts.
This is done outdoors, in a traditional setting, with her father watching and helping.
Melting and Mixing
Once the glass is hot, she pours in water from a kettle. The mix boils as she stirs it with a stick.
Her father helps by blowing air through a pipe to keep the fire strong.
The melted mixture turns smooth and ready for the next step.
Pouring the Mold
She pours the hot liquid into a bamboo mold.
This mold is made from two bamboo pieces tied together.
As the liquid cools, it hardens inside the bamboo.
Later, she carefully opens the mold to reveal a solid block.
Filtering the Liquid
The hard block is placed under flowing water from a large jar.
The water runs through small holes in the bamboo, creating a dark, rich liquid.
This filtered liquid collects in a dish below.
Enjoying the Result
Finally, the elderly man enjoys the drink. He lifts the bamboo cup and takes a sip.
The smile on his face shows that the hard work paid off.
A Traditional and Creative Process
This craft shows how simple tools and natural materials can be used to create something special.
