I’ve been eating a lot of this Greentea Tong Sui of late. By now, i guess most of you already know my affinity for everything Greentea. According to the lady who made this Greentea Tong Sui recipe, it contains fresh milk and corn. The translucent pearls you see in the spoon have a texture like sago. Only larger versions of it, lol. Lends a bite to the otherwise watery tong sui. The corn blends in well too. If i’m not wrong, the greentea is most like greentea powder which you can buy from just about any baking supplies store.

So, there you go. Only four main ingredients to this Greentea Tong Sui Recipe; Greentea powder, fresh milk, corn and those big sago pearls. And of course, rock sugar for sweetness. By the way, i wrote a post on How To Make Greentea Ice-cream earlier. Do check it out if you havent read it. I’ll be making another batch of ice- cream soon. This time, with a different method. Check back for the post later on, ya.

It’s a beautiful day and my mood isnt as screwed as it was a few days back. I was pretty down but decided to let things pass. Moreover, Malcolm wasnt feeling well and he’s so clingy till i cant really do much with him around. As usual, i left him with hubby yesterday since he doesnt want his Mama. To make him happy, hubby gave him the remainder of the ice-cream we bought from Cold Storage on our last trip there.

It’s all gone and hubby reminded me to go get more. He was surprised when i told him i’ll make some Greentea Ice-cream today after lunch. And so, after our meal, he drove me to Wah Seng, Ipoh’s largest baking supplies store to buy all the ingredients needed for my Greentea Ice-cream recipe. See, my mood must be really good till i want to make Greentea Ice-cream, lol. Something i’ve NOT done before!!!!

So, here’s what i bought. Caster Sugar, non-dairy whipping cream and greentea powder from the baking store. Fresh Milk from the grocery store as the baking store doesnt have any, weird. Eggs came from the kitchen, haha. Ingredients for Greentea Ice-cream cost came to Rm23.40 + Eggs at Rm1.08 = Rm24.48. Not that bad after all.

Ingredients for Greentea Ice-cream Recipe from bottom left to right clockwise:

130g fresh milk
70g caster sugar
2 tbsp greentea powder
250g non-dairy whipping cream
3 egg yolks

Since i dont have an egg whisk, i used my Philips Cucina handheld mixer to do the job for me.

Method:

1) Mix egg yolk and caster together thoroughly. Add in the greentea powder and mix well.

2) Add fresh milk to the mixture and mix it well.

3) Double-boil mixture at low heat until it thickens. Just keep stirring and stirring slowly, k. See the froth. Wouldnt have turned out like this if i’ve used an egg whisk.

4) I then poured the Greentea mixture into a bowl and left it to cool on the kitchen table. The froth disappeared on its own when i went to check on it later on.

5) Pour the non-dairy whipping cream into a separate container.

6) And whisk it till it’s stiff.

7) Pour the cooled Greentea mixture into the non-dairy whipping cream.

Mix it well.

9) Transfer the Greentea ice-cream mixture into a container/containers.

10) Freeze overnight. Yields around 800ml of homemade Greentea Ice-cream.

So now that i’ve shown you how to make Greentea Ice-cream, why not make some for yourself, your kids, your hubby, your boyfriend/girlfriend, neighbor lol. I still have a lot of greentea-ice-cream ingredients left inside the fridge. If this homemade Greentea Ice-cream recipe turns out well (IT WILL, IT WILL, IT WILL), i’ll make more in different tastes!!!!

Chinese herbal tea eggs are very delicious. Have you tried them before? You can make them at home easily. The ingredients for chinese herbal tea eggs can be bought form any chinese medical halls or even the supermarket. Eu Yan Sang has some if you want to try.

Me, i wont bother. I buy mine from Kuyichai, the tea gallery at Parkson. It’s located on the first floor. Take the escalator as you enter from the front entrance. It’s the shop to the left as soon as you reach the 1st floor. So, the next time you go to Parkson, dont forget to try some of these chinese herbal tea eggs. My kids love them.
