Ingredients

• Fresh water chestnuts – peeled

• 120g Ship Brand Golden Slab Sugar

• 20g water chestnut flour

• 40g water (for slurry)

• 1000g water (for boiling)

• Fresh or dried longan (rehydrated if dried)

• Osmanthus flowers (optional garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the water chestnuts
Peel all water chestnuts. Chop half into small crunchy pieces for texture, and juice the other half with 1000g water. Strain the juice for a silky-smooth base.

2. Sweeten the base
In a pot, bring the water chestnut juice to a boil with 120g Ship Brand Golden Slab Sugar. Cook for about 20 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.

3. Make the slurry
Mix 20g water chestnut flour with 40g water to form a smooth slurry. Strain to remove lumps — this is key for achieving the Q-soft texture.

4. Thicken into “sha”
Slowly stir the slurry into the boiling mixture to form a pudding-like texture. Add the chopped water chestnuts for crunch. Simmer on low heat for another 5 minutes.

5. Chill and assemble
Refrigerate until cold. Just before serving, add juicy longan and garnish with osmanthus flowers for a touch of elegance.

Serving Suggestions

• For extra fragrance, infuse the sugar syrup with pandan leaves before adding the slurry.

• Serve in glass cups for a dessert-shop look.

• Pair with crushed ice for an even more cooling effect on hot days.
