grass jelly
Jiggly Asian sweet
Grass jelly is a dark, slightly bitter jelly made from a plant in the mint family, popular in East and Southeast Asian cuisines.
It's typically served chilled in sweet drinks or desserts, cut into cubes and mixed with sugar syrup, coconut milk, or shaved ice: I'll have the bubble tea with grass jelly.
