Guangdong jelly is not the kind of jelly mentioned in the north. It is a kind of diet in Guangdong. Making jelly and selling jelly are limited to summer. The general method is: take the jelly grass and boil it in a large iron pot. After about an hour, the water in the pot will turn into dark green jelly water. At this time, pick up the grass, and slowly add the sticky rice noodles to the boiling jelly water in the pot. It is usually 1.5 kg of rice noodles per pound of jelly. Then mix with a spoon while mixing, when it becomes a thin paste, pour it into a large bucket or a large basin, and let it cool naturally. This has become a hot summer food that Cantonese people like to eat-Cantonese jelly. Jelly was invented by a man named "Dazhiwei" during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty. "Dazhiwei" opened a herbal tea shop in Xiguan, and often sold a kind of medicine called jelly grass, and taught people to use jelly grass to cook powdered kudzu for healing. Dry throat, sore throat, polydipsia in summer. Later, because children didn't like to drink medicine, he used jelly grass and arrowroot powder to mix and boil, then frozen into cake, and then mixed with sugar gum when eating, named "jelly cake". Sure enough, children like to eat this jelly cake, which can treat diseases and health care, but also can be eaten as a dessert. It is the best of both worlds. Later, this method quickly spread in Guangzhou. Both herbal tea shops and dessert shops made and sold this jelly cake.
Today, the jelly cake has not changed significantly, except that the condiments are different. Instead of mixing with sugar gum, you can mix it with condensed milk or honey. At most, you can add some pineapple or grapes. From now on, Guangdong jelly has spread throughout South China. Because of the continuous summer in southern my country, a bowl of cool jelly is refreshing in summer."
