泰式红宝石椰汁西米露 Thai Red Rubies（Tub Tim Grob )‏

食谱来饮食画报 Hoe Lai Kien　

我用沙葛来代替马蹄！红宝石有奇妙的口感体验。喜欢那颗颗晶莹剔透的红宝石，吃入口里是QQ 的外层，里面是沙葛的脆加上那班兰香的椰奶真的是绝配！

材料 A
马蹄 (切小粒)
红色素 加水 （适量）
木薯粉 （适量）

材料 B：-
西米适量（用清水煮熟，过冷河，加一点椰浆搅拌，待用）

材料 C：-
椰浆适量
糖适量
盐适量
班兰叶

做法：-
1. 煮椰浆 ： 把椰浆，班兰叶，加入适量的糖和盐，煮热 （ 不可煮滚 ），待凉，放进
冰箱冷却。

2. 做西米 ： 将西米放进热水里煮滚，当它浮起，关火让它泡5分
钟，捞起，过冷河，沥干水分，放进碗里，加入一点椰浆，防止沾黏在一起，待用。
3. 做红宝石 ：将马蹄洗干净，削皮，切方粒，加入红色素水浸泡半小时。
4. 沥干浸泡马蹄的红色素水份,均匀的沾/ 滚上木薯粉（要厚厚的一层）， 把多余的粉篩
掉。接着放进已经煮滚的水里，大火煮到马蹄浮起，这时候裹马蹄的粉就会呈现透明，而且颜色会变成红宝石晶莹剔透的样子。即可捞起。放进冰水里泡，防止 红宝石黏在一起。
5. 準備一个碗，放进适量的椰浆，西米，红宝石和冰块，即可享用。

温馨提示 ：-
1. 如果不喜欢食用色素的朋友，可以用火龙果汁，甜菜根汁来代替，可是要用长一点时间让它上色。
2. 沾木薯粉时，记得要每一粒都要沾得均匀，不然就会被揭穿是用石头当红宝石咯
