Chao

March 13th, 2010

A drink I remember from my childhood. It is so cooling as it has a crushed ice base and cincao which is known for its cooling affects.

Ingredients:selasih
Crushed or shaved ice
Rose Stroop
Selasih (sweet basil seeds, soaked in water until expanded)
Cincao (grass jelly)
Rock melon or Nangka
Santan or sweetened condensed milk

Directions:
Place the crushed or shaved ice in a large glass add the selasih, nangka and cincao. Pour a little rose stroop over the top and add the santan or condensed milk. If using the condensed milk make sure to adjust the rose stroop as it will otherwise be too sweet.
