Dissolving the Powder: In a large bowl, mix the grass jelly powder with a small amount of water to create a smooth paste.
Boiling: In a pot, bring the rest of the water to a boil. Once boiling, add the dissolved jelly paste to the pot, stirring continuously.
Sweetening: If you wish to add sweetness, now is the time to stir in your sugar or honey. Continue to boil and stir for another 5-10 minutes, ensuring the powder is fully dissolved and integrated.
Setting: Pour the mixture into molds or a flat dish and allow it to cool at room temperature. Once it starts to set (usually in a few hours), you can transfer it to the refrigerator.
serving: cut the jelly into the small cubes that can pass the straw
Add hot boiling water to black tea and let is steep for 4 minutes. Let it cool completely.
Drop grass jelly cubes into the glass (I also use some crystal boba pearls too), then add ice cubes if using, stir in sweetened condensed milk . Stir to combine.
Enjoy with a fat straw and spoon for the jelly chunks.
