Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) can water chestnuts in syrup, peeled and sliced
- 2 teaspoons red food coloring
- 1/2 cup tapioca flour
- 1 (13 1/2-ounce) can coconut milk or cream
- Ice cubes
- Jasmine Simple Syrup, recipe follows
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- Splash jasmine essence or extract (see Cook’s Note)
Instructions
- Dice the water chestnuts into chunks and toss with the red food coloring until evenly coated. Throw the colored water chestnuts into a bowl. Sprinkle with the tapioca flour and mix well to coat.
- Pour out the contents into a colander and shake off the excess flour (make sure there’s not too much flour or the texture will be too gummy and you will lose the water chestnut flavor).
- Put the floured chestnuts into a pot of boiling water. Boil until the flour turns translucent and the red of the water chestnuts is all that’s left, about 2 minutes. Remove and drain the water chestnuts. Toss into a bowl of ice cubes and water.
- To serve, scoop the Red Rubies into small glasses. Drizzle Jasmine Simple Syrup and coconut milk or cream on top. Serve immediately.
- Boil the sugar and water with the jasmine essence to flavor your syrup. Pour into squeeze bottles. Refrigerate.
