Grass jelly is a jello-like dessert found in Southeast Asia. It is made
by boiling the aged and slightly oxidized stalks and leaves of Mesona
chinensis, an herb related to mint and then cooled to a jello-like
consistency. It has a really dark blackish color and if eaten alone, is
slightly bitter. In China, people usually eat grass jelly with fruits,
or sugar, or made into a drink. When I don't have soy milk in the house,
I'll just chop up the grass jelly, put it into a bowl and drizzle with
simple syrup or honey. But my favorite way of using grass jelly is in a
drink so give it a try and let me know what you think!
Ingredients
1/3 cup of grass jelly (found in any asian grocery store) chopped into little cubes
Sweetened soy milk
ice (optional)
Mix all ingredients together and enjoy!
