Aiyùbīng

(愛玉冰, Aiyu Jelly)

Aiyùbīng is a Taiwanese dessert drink comprised of a unique fig seed jelly. The process of obtaining the jelly involves placing the seeds of a special type of Taiwanese fig in a strainer bag, submerging the bag in cold water, and then rubbing the seeds continuously until they start releasing pectin, thereby producing a gelatinous substance.


The fig seed jelly is consumed chilled, usually combined with lime or lemon juice and ice shavings, all sweetened with honey, sugar, or agave. With a perfect combination of sweet, mildly tangy, and sour flavors, this treat is a common dessert drink available at night markets, local stores, and numerous bubble tea shops.


Light and refreshing, chilled aiyu jelly is a staple throughout the summer season in Taiwan, due to its cooling effect on the body.
