Get your jelly on #16 – SARS
Day 16.
The black beauty.
I always wanted to make a black jelly since the beginning of this Royal Selangor 30-day ‘Get your jelly on’ Challenge and trying to think of what I can use to make one. I tried glass jelly powder which didn’t work out that well, it was muddy and lack of flavour. I dropped that idea and went for alternatives, then I remembered one of my favourite drinks from childhood, the black aniseed ‘cough syrup’ flavour soft drink, they called it Sarsaparilla, in Malaysia we called it SARSI. So it is only fits for me to make a drink out of it and named it SARS, not the disease, neither is breast cancer, but a tasty black jelly.
This jelly is not fizzy like the others I’ve made, because I actually wanted it to be shiny black without any bubbles inside. So I pretty much heat up all the sarsaparilla in the saucepan to get rid of all the carbonated fizz. I don’t know, there is something mysterious about ‘black food’ and don’t know what to expect when you first eat it.
Unless you are a sarsaparilla fanatic like me, if not the SARS jelly on its own can be bit boring. But I can imagine it will go well with berries as a dessert. But to be honest, I just want to see how a black jelly wiggles. LOL! 
And make sure you come back each day for a new tit-illating video! Seriously, there are some really good ones that you simply can’t take your eyes off!

Dark and very, very sexy!
Tried Sarsi whilst living in Hong Kong but unfortunately failed to grow an appreciation for it =(
At first when I saw the black jelly I thought ‘squid ink’. Could you make a savory squid ink jelly look more black?
Am I the only one who thought of the infamous Dr. Pepper when I saw this!?
Awesome idea, Billy!
Seriously, the crazy jellies you’ve made for this challenge are quite admirable..and all for a good cause!
Sars jelly – now that is an awesome idea, I love the taste of sars – it’s my favourite soft drink! Must try this one day
There is NOTHING appropriate for viewing that I can say about this entry. Let’s just leave it with…. Really nice work
