(The Healthy Drink)
Today I bought a drink that I’ve been meaning to try since I arrived in Kaifeng. I can’t tell you what it’s called because I don’t know - I can only describe it and show pictures. The man making the drink first filled a pot with what looked like condensed milk, but when he added hot water and whisked it, the liquid turned gelatinous and gooey. To the gooey mixture he added: strawberry jam, crushed peanuts, poppy seeds, raisins, oats and sugar. He whisked it one more time and then poured it into my cup. Believe it or not, it was delicious! I have no idea if it was healthy, but as I do with most Chinese food and drinks, I’m just telling myself that it is. After all, most Chinese people are slim! You can see photos of the creation at the bottom of this email.
I won’t be sending an update for the next three days, as I will be taking a weekend trip to Beijing. Upon my return, I promise to entertain you all once again with some great photos and stories! Tsai Jian! (Good bye)
