Preparation

Step 1

1. If using fresh water chestnuts, peel them with a vegetable peeler. If using canned, simply rinse. Cut each water chestnut into very small bite-sized pieces (~1/4" cubes).

Step 2

2. Mix 20 drops red food coloring with 2 tablespoons water. Coat the water chestnut cubes in the food colouring mixture and let sit for a few minutes until they are all evenly red.

Step 3

3. Add the water chestnuts to the tapioca flour and mix until they are coated well. Take them out of the flour and then, using a spray bottle, mist them with water and coat them with flour again. Strain them with a mesh sieve or colander to get rid of the excess flour.

Step 4

4. Place the coated water chestnuts in a pot of boiling water and cook for approximately one minute. Once they float to the surface, they are done. Remove and plunge into a pot of ice cold water.

Step 5

5. Quickly heat 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1 cup coconut milk, just until the sugar dissolves. Allow this syrup to cool, then add shaved ice and the prepared water chestnuts. Enjoy!
