China Grass

Methods/steps

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.
