Ai yu jelly:
A Special jelly made from the seeds of a type of wild figs (looks like green mangos) they are only to be found in Taiwan. Refreshing and delicious! It floats in the syrup like pieces of yellow jade.
Serves 4
Ingredients:
10g Aiyu seed
2 cups of cold water
Juice of 4 lemons
Honey to sweeten
Method:
1. Place the aiyu seeds in the centre of a piece muslin cloth. Tighten with a string to make a small parcel.
2. Soak in the cold water; gently rub the seeds through the muslin bag until there is no more yellow gel coming out of the muslin bag. (this process is called “washing Aiyu”)
3. Discard the muslin bag and leave the jelly liquid in a cold place or in the fridge.
4. Mix lemon juice with some honey to sweeten.
5. When the jelly is set, take a spoon to portion the aiyu. Slid the pieces into the sweetened lemon juice with some crushed ice.
6. Enjoy!
That's sounds interesting, would you know how to get the aiyu seeds in London?
