Moh Let Saung (Coconut Milk with Sago) a Classic Burmese recipe for a thick drink that is almost a smoothie made from a cooked sago mixture blended with palm sugar syrup and served topped with coconut milk.

Ingredients

140g sago (tapioca)
1l water
150g palm sugar, chopped
1l coconut milk
sugar
ice cubes

Method:

Wash the sago thoroughly, place in a bowl, cover with plenty of water and set aside to soak for 1 hour. After this time, drain the sago, transfer to a large pan and add 750ml water. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook over moderate heat until the sago grains turn clear.

Take off the heat and set aside to cool then chill in the refrigerator. Once the sago mixture has chilled, combine the palm sugar and the remaining water in a small saucepan. Heat gently until all the sugar has dissolved then take off the heat, allow to cool and strain.

To serve, place 4 tsp of the chilled sago mixture in a tall glass then add 3 tbsp of the palm sugar syrup (or more, according to taste). Mix thoroughly then add 3 ice cubes and top the glass up with coconut milk. Stir well and serve immediately.
