Method:
To make green tea, mix powdered green
tea and sugar in hot water, stirring well. Soak kanten in plenty
of water overnight or until softened. Squeeze water from kanten,
then tear into pieces. Put the pieces in a saucepan with 1½
cups water. Simmer until kanten dissolves, stirring constantly.
Stir sugar into kanten mixture until dissolved. When it comes to
a boil, add sweet bean paste and salt, stirring well. Put
arrowroot powder and water into a separate saucepan. Stir and
simmer until sticky. Gradually add the kanten mixture, mixing
well. Add condensed milk, stirring well. When boiling,
remove from heat. Leave to cool for a few minutes, then mix in
the green tea liquid through a strainer or sieve. Moisten the
inside of a square mould (5"x5¾") with water and pour the kanten
mixture into the mould. Chill until set for about 2 hours, then
cut into cubes.
