Methods for Red Ruby
1. Peel water chestnuts and cut them into cubes of about 1cm size.
2. Peel the beetroot, and cut into smaller pieces. Place the beetroot pieces into a VitaBoost High Performance Blender, and blend until smooth. Then, strain well to obtain the juice.
3. Place the water chestnut cubes into the beetroot juice and soak for about an hour.
4. Strain off the excess juice, and add the coloured water chestnut cubes to a tray of tapioca flour. Coat the cubes evenly and strain off any excess.
5. Add the red rubies to a pot of boiling water, and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the cooked red rubies and place them into an ice bath.
Methods for Toppings
6. Split the pandan leaves into half, and tie each halves into a knot.
7. Boil water in a medium sized pot, and add sugar. Stir well so that sugar dissolves.
8. Pour the sugar syrup into a bowl and set aside to cool. When sugar syrup is cool, add one of the knots of pandan leaves.
