Brown sugar ice jelly is a specialty dessert from Sichuan Province, particularly popular during the scorching summer months. Traditional ice jelly is made by hand-rubbing ice jelly seeds. The seeds are wrapped in gauze and kneaded in cool boiled water to extract a gel-like substance.
This is then mixed with clarified lime water, stirred evenly, and left to set. Once solidified, the ice jelly is cut into small pieces and served in a bowl, topped with brown sugar syrup and a variety of toppings. Common toppings include crushed peanuts, hawthorn slices, raisins, sesame seeds, glutinous rice balls, and fruit pieces, all of which can be customized to personal taste. A single bite on a hot summer day offers a refreshing, smooth, and melt-in-your-mouth experience.
