China Grass

Ingredients:

5 g china grass
1 kg milk
250 g sugar
Few drops food colouring
¼ tsp cardamom, coarsely ground
Water

Instructions:

Cook the china grass with a little water on low heat till it melts. Separately, boil together sugar and milk, add the melted china grass (which by now has become transparent) and cook for 5 minutes. Cool and add food colouring and cardamom.
Beat the mixture vigorously with electric beater and when it begins to froth, scoop the froth into a bowl. Repeat this process until all the mixture has been beaten. Place in the refrigerator to set and chill.
Alternatively, this dessert can also be made without beating the mixture into froth. Instead simply mix and chill. However, the dessert will not be light and fluffy.
