Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use packaged coconut water?
Yes, as long as it is unsweetened. If it is sweetened, cut down the sugar. Fresh tender coconut water still gives the best flavour.
Why do I need to strain the china grass mixture?
Straining removes any undissolved agar pieces and impurities, so the jelly sets clear and smooth around the coconut malai.
