Ensuring the grass jelly cubes are cut evenly and the milk is gently heated (not boiled) are essential for a silky, delicate texture. Overheating or uneven cutting can result in graininess or uneven mouthfeel.
Q. How can I prevent the dessert from becoming watery or diluted?
To maintain a clean, silky texture, chill all components before assembling, and add ice cubes just before serving. This prevents melting and maintains flavor concentration.
