What is Grass Jelly?
🥄 Ever had that bouncy, slightly bitter black jelly in your bubble tea or dessert and wondered what it is?
👉 That’s grass jelly — also known as cincau, leung fan, or xian cao.
It’s a traditional jelly made from the leaves and stalks of the Mesona plant, a member of the mint family, and it’s been cooling people down across Taiwan, China, Indonesia, Thailand, and Southeast Asia for generations.
