Today, I will introduce you a kind of cold drink that is cool and delicious, does not irritate the stomach, and has no additives. It is suitable for home-made cold drinks.

It is said to be a cold drink. In fact, it is not cold, and it does not need to be refrigerated or frozen. It can be prepared and stored at room temperature.

Friends in the north may not be familiar with "burning immortal grass". It is a traditional dessert that first appeared in Fujian and Taiwan, and it is also popular in Japan and Southeast Asian countries. "Xiancao" is a kind of plant with a special aroma. When it is boiled in water, the soup is condensed into jelly after cooling, and it becomes the earliest fairy grass jelly (this is a bit like the "sea jelly" in the north of us). Now it’s much easier to make immortal grass jelly, just cook it with the “immortal grass powder” you bought. Xiancao jelly has the effects of cooling down and reducing fire, and beautifying the skin, but it does not have the traditional Chinese medicine flavor of ordinary "herbal tea". Then add the fried ground peanuts, noodle balls or taro balls, honey beans, add sugar and milk and mix well before eating. It's not too delicious.

Then quickly take a look at how to do it. A "red bean taro ball roasted grass" consists of the following parts: honey red beans, three-color taro balls (sweet potato, purple potato, taro), roasted grass, cooked peanuts, and milk. The following mainly talks about the method of immortal grass jelly and various taro balls. (The indicated amount can make 300 grams of burnt grass, about 4 servings). "

Ingredients

Red Bean Taro Balls Roasted Herbs

2. Make the grass jelly while the steamer is heating up. Mix 18 grams of grass powder with 50 milliliters of cold water to a fine and particle-free state, and then slowly flush into 240 grams of boiling water. Do not pour the fairy grass powder directly into boiling water, it will affect the solidification and taste after agglomeration. Boil while stirring, then pour it into a bowl, let it sit aside and let it cool until it solidifies, and the jelly is ready.

3. Next, make taro balls: mash the steamed taro with a shovel (sweet potato and purple potato are also the same operation). Weigh out a little white sugar, add a little cold water, and stir until completely dissolved.

4. Add a small amount of sugar water to the taro mash and stir evenly. Because the steamed taro mash is relatively dry, it is easier to knead and shape while adding a little sugar water to taste. Then add tapioca starch to the mashed taro one by one in small amounts and mix well until it is not sticky.

5. Put the kneaded taro paste on the cutting board. After kneading into finger-thick strips, cut into small pieces.

6. The process of mashed sweet potato and mashed purple potato is also repeated from step 6 to step 10. Sprinkle a little tapioca starch on the surface of the cut taro balls to avoid sticking. Take out the amount you eat at one time and freeze the remaining taro balls in the refrigerator. Boil water in a pot, pour in the taro balls and stir slowly until the taro balls have surfaced and they are cooked.

7. Soak the cooked taro balls in cold water to make the taro balls more delicious. Cut the solidified grass jelly into large pieces with a knife and pour it into a bowl.

8. Arrange cooked honey beans and three-color taro balls on the grass, add a little white sugar to the milk and mix thoroughly, pour on top, sprinkle a little peanuts, and a bowl of rich red bean and taro balls to burn the grass.

Tips:
1. How to make honey red beans: wash the red beans (or pinto beans, mung beans), add water and white sugar, put them in an electric pressure cooker, select the "beans" program, pour out after cooking, drain the soup, let cool That's it. The sweetness can be adjusted according to personal taste. It tastes better if it is a little sweeter and mixed in the grass, because the grass itself has no sweetness.

2. If you think it is troublesome to make three kinds of taro balls, you can make only one kind, but the three colors are more beautiful and the taste is richer.
