This drink is inspired by Cantonese desserts like milk tea with condensed milk (Cha Jau) and grass jelly. It has a creamy flavor with the condensed milk, and the black grass jelly gives it a nice touch.

Sounds very intriguing!!!! Can't wait to try......Where do you source your black grass jelly?
I got black grass jelly from Amazon 🤭... Amazon really does have everything these days! However, if you want to buy a lot, and this goes for a lot of other things too, Weee! (sayweee.com) is always a good option. As brands go, I have only had one brand of black grass jelly, and that is 3k Producing Co. They are a Vietnamese brand selling various drink toppings. It is important to note that you should never buy canned black grass jelly because I bought it and it smelled like shrimp, and black grass jelly is funky smelling (it smells like the smell of rain, humidity, mint, and licorice) for the average person, but that was way more funky-smelling than normal. Also, it is just not a good idea because black grass jelly is not really something you should put in a can, because it is bound to just liquify in the pantry after a little while and putting it in the fridge defeats the whole purpose of it being canned.
