Anyone know the name of and recipe for Filipino drink?

Question

It's almost like sweet tea, with maybe tapioca pearls or little square chewy things in it? Haha. I'd love to make it, but can't remember what it's called.

nope it's not halo halo (which i also love) . . it's a brown clear drink. you don't put shaved ice in it.

Answer 1

I think it's called sago & gulaman. "sago" is the filipino term for tapioca and "gulaman" is the filipino term for jello. below is the recipe:

1 cup sugar
2 cups water
1 bar white gulaman (or 1 pack Jello) soaked in water and drained
2 cups cooked sago (tapioca pearls)


1. Caramelize sugar and when golden brown add water and bring to a boil. Put in the softened gulaman (or Jello) and stir till completely melted. Strain into a baking pan. Cool and cut into cubes.
2. For the sago, make a syrup following the procedure for gulaman. Continue cooking the caramelized sugar and water until syrupy. Pour boiling water over the sago, drain and combine with the syrup. Serve with cubed gulaman with crushed ice.

Answer 2

I think you're talking about Halo Halo (sounds like hallow-hallow)

Filipino Halo halo

1 cup large tapioca, boiled until soft
1 can fruit cocktail, chilled
1 can sweet corn, chilled
4 cups milk, chilled
ice, shaved or crushed

Boil the tapioca until soft and chill. Shave the ice. If you do
not have access to an ice-shaver, you can crush it. (Place ice in
a plastic bag, cover with a town and beat with a large mallet.)
Place a large scoop of fruit cocktail and cocktail syrup into a
LARGE glass. Place a tablespoon of sweet corn on top and a scoop
of tapioca. Fill glass to near top with ice. Pour milk over ice.
Top entire desert-drink with cold leche flan. Serve with long
spoon.


Leche Flan

8 eggs
1 can condensed milk, sweetened
1 can evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 handful sugar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon ground ginger, to taste

Place eggs, vanila and both cans of milk into a mixing bowl and
beat on high for three minuntes. Place the leche flan mixture into
a ceramic bowl. Place this bowl into a second bowl of water, so
that the waterline is just ABOVE the level of the leche flan. Place
into a pre-heated oven at 160C. Cook for 35-45 min, checking
occasionally to ensure that waterline does not drop below the leche
flan level. Remove from oven while leche flan is still soft (it
will continue to back in its own heat.) Place water, sugar and
ginger into saucepan. Bring to boil, stiring constantly. When the
mix starts to become a syrup, pour over leche flan.
