Cincau / Grass Jelly

Do you know what cincau/grass jelly is made of?

I used to just buy cincau/grass jelly from the wet market or supermarket in Singapore without giving it much thought of what it's made of. 
I have never seen the ready-made ones here and was pleasantly surprised to see the cincau powder sold at the Toko. (I've never seen it before in his shop before.) And so my 'experiment' began...


I discovered that Cincau is made from the leaves shown above and there are also many medicinal properties of these leaves, which you can read at the link.

Anyway, what did I make it with?


A typical Cincau drink (with syrup) and the other with soya milk. I was surprised when one of my friends in Singapore told me about the MJ drink - black/white (soya milk with cincau). I had to try it, of course and I must say it tasted GOOD! Even my boys enjoyed it!

Would you try it? I'm yet to convince my husband to try it. ;)
