Traditional ice powder is made by rubbing ice powder seeds in water with gauze. The taste is Q-shaped, tender and smooth, and the aroma is stronger. The taste of the powder is lighter and the texture is harder. It needs to be cut with a spoon like pudding. The most intuitive way to identify it is to look at the bubbles: when you rub the ice powder with your hands, there will be small bubbles and the color will be yellowish.

Homemade ice powder

Ingredients are as follows:

80 grams of ice seeds, 8 grams of lime powder, 180 ml of cold boiled water (lime water), 1L cold boiled water (ice powder water), 30 grams of brown sugar, raisins, crushed peanuts and black sesame seeds.

Steps:

1. Add 150 ml of water to the lime, stir evenly, let it stand until complete precipitation, and take the supernatant liquid for later use.

2. Find a gauze bag and put the ice powder seeds in it. Put it into cold boiled water and rub it slowly for 5-10 minutes.

The principle is that the ice powder seeds will exude colloid when exposed to water, and more and more hands will be rubbed. When kneading, you can obviously feel the gauze bag getting tighter and tighter. The more chewing gum, the tighter the Q elasticity.

3. Take out the gauze bag and filter the ice powder slurry. Although it was wiped with gauze, there were still some impurities inside. You can filter it again with gauze.

4. Slowly add the pre-prepared lime water to the filtered ice powder slurry, stirring while adding.

5. Stir evenly and let it sit for 2-3 hours, the ice powder will freeze. After freezing, the ice powder will be as elastic as jelly. The color of the ice powder when rubbed by hand will be slightly yellow, which is normal.

6. Stir the brown sugar with a small amount of boiling water until it melts.

7. Pour brown sugar water over the ice powder and sprinkle with raisins, peanuts and sesame seeds. In addition to these ingredients, you can also add glutinous rice cake, which is glutinous rice cake ice powder, or add fruits, turtle paste, sago, etc.

Tips:

1. Pay attention to the proportion of lime and water.

2. When pouring lime water into ice powder slurry, pay attention to stirring while pouring.

3. It tastes better if you refrigerate it before eating.
