Gwai Ling Koh (Herbal Jelly)
7 May 2007 by Two Crazy Dogs
I made this herbal jelly yesterday. Mom sent several packets to me from the last care package I received.
I could not remember when was the last time I had this. This herbal jelly was manufactured in Hong Kong by the famous Eu Yan Sang Chinese herbal store.
The herbal jelly in this powdered form is easy to make - especially my type of person!
Pour the contents into a bowl, add 250ml water, and mixed it up. Boil 1 liter of water (I only boiled half of what they asked for) and pour the mixed concoction in, add sugar, stir well, and pour it into a container to cool. I put in honey and some Splenda instead of regular sugar. I don’t have any fancy-mancy containers, so poured it into a Rubbermaid container.
DB saw the packet as shown above and the first thing that came out from his mouth is, “What is this?” I told him he will not like it as there is a hint of bitterness to it. He did not say a word then.
For me, I ate half of what’s in that container and stored the rest in the refrigerator. Yummy!!
