Dteuk am bpoh (literally sugar cane water) stands are pretty much everywhere.
Select a nice looking stalk of sugar cane, and cut off a one and half foot section.
Peel the outside of the stalk.
Then press the pale yellow reed through the above contraption which squeezes out the sweet deliciousness. (It’s amazing how much water the canes have!)
Add some freshly squeezed lime juice into the mix for some tartness.
Serve with a straw and over ice in a glass or to-go cup*.
This refreshing Cambodian drink is only 12.5 cents! For reference, a soft drink like Coke, Fanta, or Lychee juice is about 50 cents.
*The to-go “cup” is actually a small, plastic bag. Economical for the sellers because they’re cheap and easily storable. Bad for the whole trash being everywhere situation.
