INTRODUCTION
Situational Analysis
Calamansi ( Citrus microcarpa) , commonly known as calamondin, is a small, citrus fruit
native to Southeast Asia, particularly in the Philippines. It is widely used in both culinary and
medical contexts due to its rich vitamin C content and unique flavor, combining sweet and sour
notes (Morton 1987). This fruit plays a significant role in Filipino cuisine, often used as a flavor
enhancer for various dishes,beverages , and condiments ( Barba & Cabrera, 2008 ). Calamansi
is also valued for its health benefits, which is include its antioxidant properties, potential to boost
the immune system, and ability to aid digestion ( Esoina&Borja, 2011).Vitamin C helps to
strengthen the immune system, making the body more resistant to illnesses like colds and flu
(Smith, 2020). Regular consumption of calamansi-based drinks can help boost immunity and
support skin health.
Ginger, on the other hand, is well known for its anti-inflammatory and digestive benefits.
Research by Johnson (2019) suggests that ginger can relieve nausea, reduce muscle pain, and
support healthy digestion. Additionally, ginger has warming properties that can soothe a sore
throat and alleviate respiratory discomfort.
When calamansi and ginger are combined in a beverage, they create a powerful health
drink that promotes digestion, enhances immunity, and provides a natural source of energy. The
tangy citrus from calamansi blends well with the warming spice of ginger, making the drink both
delicious and beneficial.
Incorporating calamansi and ginger drinks into your daily routine is a simple and
effective way to support your health. With calamansi's immune-boosting properties and ginger's
anti-inflammatory benefits, this drink is a natural remedy for a variety of common ailments. As
more people turn to natural solutions for health, this combination offers both a refreshing taste
and significant health benefits.
Objective of the Study
At the end of the study the researchers should be able;
To provide a natural and refreshing beverage that boosts immunity
To offer a digestive aid through a natural formulation
To create a sustainable and preservative-free health drink

METHODOLOGY
Research design
The different treatment used were:
T1 – Pure calamansi
T2 – calamansi & ginger
PURE CALAMANSI
Ingredients and Materials
100g of calamansi juice
2-3 cups of distilled water
1 tablespoon of honey or 1 tablespoon if sugar
Bottled container
Procedure
1. Prepare all the material and ingredients.
2. Wash the calamansi properly.
3. Cut each calamansi in half and remove the seeds. Squeeze the calamansi halves over
a strainer or directly into a bowl to collect the juice. The strainer helps filter out seeds
and pulp, resulting in smoother juice.
4. Pour the fresh calamansi juice into a glass or pitcher. Add 2-3 cups of water to dilute
the juice and reduce the acidity. Stir well.
5. Add 1 tablespoons of honey or sugar into the bowl of calamansi juice and stir until
dissolved. Adjust sweetness according to taste.
6. Last, put the drinks into bottled container and place it in refrigerator for better serving
