Weird Cendol

Note 1: Damn, I made my first cendol. It came out nicely shaped. But the taste was horrible. Most probably because I put in too much "kapur makan". The recipe calls for "air kapur" which I have no idea what it meant. I took some kapur as well as air kapur. But I think it is a little bit too much. As a result, my cendol was so unbearably bitter, that the whole drink would be better off without it. So, I am going to reduce the amount of "kapur makan" in my cendol. Or perhaps, only take the water.

Part A: Cendol

1/2 cup corn flour (tepung jagung)

1/4 cup rice flour (tepung beras)

1/8 cup cassava flour (tepung ubi kayu)

2 3/4 cup water

Green colouring

1/2 tbsp liquid from "kapur makan" (only liquid)

Steps:

1. Boil everything until it was thick and shiny. Set aside.

2. You can use strainer or piping bag and push the cendol mixture into an iced water bath to create cendol.

3. Set aside and store in a cool place until time to use.

Part B: Air Gula Merah

1 piece gula melaka comel

1 small block gula kabung

4 tbsp gula merah jaggery

Part C: Air Santan

200ml thick santan

A pinch of salt

2. Cool before use.
