Makes 185 g

Ingredients
100g gula melaka

2 tsp sugar
125ml thick coconut milk


Method
1. Measure ingredients into a pot and cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes.
2. Keep stirring.
3. Test by dropping a blob into cold water. It should harden.
4. Pour a little at a time onto a greased silicone mat.

Tip : Using freshly squeezed coconut milk if available, will give you a more flavoursome lolly.
