Coconut Grass Supreme
Coconut Grass Supreme
Ever heard of grass jelly? It’s a type of gelatin with herbal tea, usually black in color. In Asia, grass jelly is grated and soaked in sweetened water, then served as a drink – you can do this if you want to try what my family calls “snake juice”! =) I made an improv “slushie” version with coconut that’s very refreshing!

Ingredients
| 1 can grass jelly (you can find in the Asian aisle usually) |
| 1 can coconut milk (reduced fat if you like) |
| honey and/or sugar to taste |
| ice |
Directions
- (Note: you can add all ingredients directly to blender and puree if you’re in a hurry)
- Empty can of grass jelly into a bowl and cut into small chunks. Add water and let sit for a little while – this brings the tea out of the jelly a bit. Take the ice (about 3-6 cups) and crush it in the blender or food processor. Add the grass jelly/water mix and blend (you may need to add more water). Add honey or sugar (I like using both) and add to taste. Blend. Add can of coconut milk (less if you don’t really like a strong coconut flavour) and blend all together until the sugar is dissolved. Serve as a delicious refreshing drink!
