Notes
- When making gulaman, reduce the water called for in the packaging to yield firmer cubes that will hold up in the mix.
- As most ingredients are prepared in simple syrup, it's unnecessary to sweeten the dessert with additional sugar.
- For best results, use shaved and not crushed ice. Shaved ice has a fine texture that absorbs the milk well.
