Malaysia's beverages is to die for

BEVERAGES

Teh Tarik

Literally meaning 'pulled tea', this milky beverage is prepared by pouring (or pulling) a drink of black milk tea back and forth between two mugs until a thick frothy top appears.






Cendol

There is nothing fancy about cendol; simply a bowl of shaved ice in santan with worm-like pandan-flavored rice flour jelly and drizzles of condensed milk. But with the best gula Melaka (coconut palm sugar), this icy treat goes from ordinary to outstanding. 






Air Batu Campur (ABC)

A heaving bowl of shaved ice topped with evaporated milk and gula Melaka hides a dizzying mix of goodies like red bean, cincau (grass jelly), cendol, sweet corn, kidney beans and attap chee (palm seed) beneath. 






Air Selasih

The mild, barely discernible flavor of basil seeds, or biji selasih, coupled with their lovely crunchy texture makes them an ideal addition to drinks and desserts. To make air selasih, the seeds are added to rose syrup.
