CINCAU ICE
Black Cincau or Grass Jelly is a jelly-like that can be found in South-East Asia and normally used in some Indonesian as traditional drinks. Cincau hitam can also be used to reduce temperature, fever, and to prevent indigestion and to lower high blood pressure. It also has low calories so it is good for those who want to loose weight.
Grass jelly is made by boiling the aged and slightly fermented stalks and leaves of Mesona chinensis[1] (member of the mint family) with potassium carbonate for several hours with a little starch and then cooling the liquid to a jelly-like consistency[2]. This jelly can be cut into cubes or other forms, and then mixed with syrup to produce a drink or dessert thought to have cooling (yin) properties, which makes it typically consumed during hot weather. The jelly itself has a slight bitter taste, a light iodine lavender flavor, and is a translucent black. It can also be mixed with soy milk to produce a milky white liquid with black strands in it.
