This is a very unique, easy and delicious South East Asian dessert. Don't be freaked out by the ingredients that you have never seen in your life. Trust me, you will love it. So let's get started.
This is the grass jelly. You will find several different brands at any Chinese or Vietnamese super market. Any brand works for me. The jelly has slight bitter taste and a little bit of iodine lavender flavor.
Slash and cut the grass jelly in a bowl. Don't even bother the shape, just slash into small pieces.
Coconut sugar. This is the key to this dessert. Coconut sugar is produced from the sweet juice of coconut palm sugar blossoms. Coconut sugar has twice the iron, four times the magnesium and ten times the amount of zinc when compared to brown sugar.
Bring 2.5 cups of water to a boil. Place coconut sugar into the water. Simmer for 15 minutes until coconut sugar is completely dissolved. Put the mixture in the refrigerator to chill.
Coconut milk
Place slashed grass jelly in a cup, glass or bowl. Pour chilled coconut sugar and coconut milk. It's good idea to put some ice cubes. Hope you enjoy it !!
