Red Rubies
1 C water with red food coloring
1 C canned water chestnuts, cubed*
3/4 C coconut cream or milk
Pinch of salt
1 C water
1/2 C sugar
1/2 C tapioca flour
Crushed ice
In a bowl, combine water and red food coloring. Slice and cube water chestnuts; soak in water-food coloring mixture for about thirty minutes. Drain and set aside. In another bowl, combine the coconut cream or milk with salt; set aside. When ready to serve, combine one cup water and sugar in a bowl. Roll water chestnuts in tapioca flour. Add water chestnuts and crushed ice to bowl with water and sugar. Refrigerate for about one hour to chill, and then spoon mixture into individual serving bowls. Top with the coconut cream or milk mixture. Serve.
*Note: If using fresh water chestnuts rather than canned, peel and cube before soaking in water with red food coloring. Bring water to a boil in a large saucepan; roll colored water chestnuts in tapioca flour and then drop into boiling water. Continue boiling until water chestnuts rise to the top of the water, about five minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl of cold water to chill until ready to follow recipe procedure.
