How to make Sương sâm using a blender
-
Prepare the sương sâm leaves
Wash the sương sâm leaves thoroughly, then soak them in a little salt for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, rinse with clean water, drain in a basket, and chop small.
Note: The sương sâm leaves are quite dirty, so you need to use your hands to scrub each leaf to remove any dirt!
-
Blend and filter sương sâm water
Heat about 600ml of water with 50g of sugar and a little salt to around 70 degrees Celsius. Then, pour this mixture into the blender along with the sương sâm leaves.
Blend the mixture until the sương sâm leaves are slightly crushed.
Note: Do not blend the sương sâm leaves too finely; just stop when the leaves are broken into small pieces. You should choose the lowest blending speed to minimize the foam in the sương sâm water.
Pour the blended sương sâm leaves into a filtering bag. Then, use your hands to squeeze tightly to extract all the juice from the leaves.
After squeezing, filter the liquid through a sieve once more to remove any residue, and use a spoon to scoop off the white foam on the surface.
Tip: When squeezing the sương sâm, do not lift the filtering bag too high as it will create a lot of air bubbles in the water. -
Pour into molds and freeze
Quickly pour the mixture into molds while it is still warm.
Let the mixture cool in the refrigerator refrigerator or at room temperature for 2 – 3 hours until completely frozen.

Final product
The grass jelly is visually appealing with a clear green color, shiny, soft texture, and moderate sweetness; it tastes even better when served cold. If desired, you can add a bit of coconut milk for a richer flavor or enjoy it with basil seeds, both of which are very delicious.

How to choose fresh and delicious soursop leaves
- Soursop leaves typically come in two types: hairy soursop leaves and smooth soursop leaves. The hairy type usually produces more jelly.
- You can choose either dried or fresh soursop leaves, depending on your preference, and it’s best to select mature leaves. If making soursop jelly during the rainy season, you should increase the amount of leaves, as the jelly content in the leaves will be reduced during this time.
How to store soursop jelly
- You can store soursop jelly in the fridge for 2 – 3 days. Whenever you want to eat it, just take it out, drain the water, and use it as usual.
- If consuming on the same day, you can keep it at room temperature in a cool, shaded place, away from sunlight.
