Ingredients

Scale

Sago

  • 1/2 cup dried sago
  • Water for boiling

Matcha Milk

  • 2 tablespoons (12 g) matcha powder
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) hot water (176°F / 80°C)
  • 1 cup milk (or milk of choice)

Other Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/4 cup condensed milk (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup strawberries, washed and diced
  • 1 cup coconut jelly
  • 1/2 cup strawberry heart jelly (optional)
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Cook the sago: Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the sago pearls and reduce heat to medium-high. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pearls are mostly transparent. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for an additional 10-15 minutes until fully translucent.
  2. Cool the sago: Strain the cooked sago and rinse thoroughly with cold water to halt cooking. Submerge the sieve containing sago into a bowl of water to prevent them from drying out. Set aside.
  3. Prepare matcha milk: Sift the matcha powder into a heat-proof bowl. Whisk with the hot water in a “W” motion until frothy and fully combined. Add the milk and stir until smooth.
  4. Combine ingredients: Drain the sago well and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add evaporated milk, condensed milk, prepared matcha milk, diced strawberries, coconut jelly, strawberry heart jelly (if using), and ice cubes. Stir gently to combine all elements evenly.
  5. Assemble and serve: Spoon the mixture into individual serving cups and serve immediately for optimum freshness and texture enjoyment.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of condensed milk to control the sweetness according to your preference.
  • Using warm water at 176°F (80°C) for the matcha helps preserve its delicate flavor and nutrients.
  • Ice cubes keep the dessert chilled and refreshing; add just before serving to prevent dilution.
  • The strawberry heart jelly is optional but adds a lovely texture and visual appeal.
  • This dessert is best consumed fresh to enjoy the optimal texture of the sago and jellies.
