Black Jelly / Cincau Drink :
Grass jelly is made
from boiling grasses in the mint family (specifically Mesona chinensis) with potassium carbonate, and then cooling the liquid down to a jelly-like consistency. This jelly can then be mixed with syrup
to produce a drink thought to have cooling (yin) properties. This has a slight iodine flavour and looks like a clear, deep brown liquid with strands or cubes of translucent blackish jelly
in it. It can also be mixed with soy milk to produce a milky white liquid with black strands in it, a drink known as Michael Jackson in Southeast Asia.
