The snow fungus before soaking

Instructions

1.  Wash and clean the soaked fungus once it has been soaked till soft. Cut them into small pieces.
2.  Boil the snow fungus in 1.3 litres of water
3.  Lower to low flame once it has reached boiling point and let simmer for about half an hour.
4.  Add in the rock sugar and boil for a further 15 minutes.
5.  Switch off the flame.

Serving suggestion

1.  This dessert can be served warm or cold. 
2.  Cut the Chinese herbal jelly into small cubes. 
3.  It is preferable to add in the herbal jelly only when you want to consume the dessert, because the black jelly tends to blacken the snowy white fungus if left together for a while.

Serve it warm

It's just as good or maybe better served chilled
