In West Sumatra, this plant is abundant and widely used in traditional medicine. This activity aimed to provide education and a demonstration to the community on how to process Sungkai leaves into a healthy syrup, thereby increasing the use of this plant as a daily health drink. The event was conducted through a live demonstration in Kanagarian Sipinang, Palembayan District, Agam Regency. The process of making Sungkai syrup involved several stages, starting from selecting the leaves, boiling them, and mixing them with other ingredients such as sugar and/or lemon juice to enhance the flavor. The results of this activity showed high enthusiasm among participants, with a total of 40 attendees.
