Remember to boil the water, put it in and start cooking. It usually takes about 20 minutes, then filter it. After it cools down naturally, you can add sugar and honey and you can eat it.

How to cook grass jelly powder into grass jelly

1. Boil 1000CC water, add 1500G sugar, and then add 3000CC grass jelly; Boil the grass juice again, pour in the grass jelly powder (the powder needs to be diluted with pure water), and stir evenly; Cool quickly or heat in water. You can add cornstarch to solidify it, and add honeyed safflower beans on top to make it sweeter.

2. Wash the grass jelly and prepare rice soup. The grass jelly will have color when it is put into water, no matter how you wash it, it will have color. If you want to wash it until the water is clear, you will be exhausted and still won’t be able to make a pulp. Rub it several times and wash until there is no sand left. This is very important, otherwise there will be sand in the grass jelly. Soak for half an hour after washing. When cooking porridge, scoop out some thick rice soup and add it to the cooked soup to make it easier to freeze.

3. Knowledge expansion: The principle is very simple. Because the starch-rich cornstarch produces gelatinization when heated, most of the gelatinized starch loses fluidity when cooled and forms a gel. Once the gel is formed, it will gradually form a hard tissue. This phenomenon is called aging, but aging is reversible. Heating will break the hydrogen bonds in the structure and free the straight-chain starch again, so the solidified grass jelly is restored. Using this principle, solid grass jelly is available on the market. After purchasing it, it can be eaten after a simple heating process.
