Ingredients

Servings:
¾ cuprice flour
¼ cuptapioca starch
1 tbsppandan leaves or extract
3 cupwater
2 cupcoconut milk
1 cuppalm sugar
4 cupcrushed ice
¼ tspsalt

Steps

  1. mix5 min
    starch slurry completely smooth
    Whisk rice flour and tapioca starch with pandan liquid and water until no dry pockets remain. A smooth slurry gives clean jelly strands instead of floury lumps.
  2. simmer12 min
    batter glossy, translucent and very thick
    Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes glossy and pulls heavily from the pan. Undercooked starch will dissolve rather than hold strands.
  3. prep10 min
    short green strands set immediately in ice water
    Press the hot batter through a cendol press, potato ricer or large-holed colander directly into ice water. Work in batches so strands cool separately instead of fusing.
  4. simmer8 min
    palm sugar dissolved into a dark pourable syrup
    Simmer palm sugar with a little water until fully dissolved, then cool. Keep the syrup concentrated because melting ice will dilute the final bowl.
  5. rest20 min
    jelly and syrup cold
    Drain the chilled jelly and assemble with crushed ice, coconut milk and palm-sugar syrup only at service so the ice stays distinct.
