What You’ll Need
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 50 ml UFC Velvet Coconut Milk, unsweetened
- 1 piece of Golden Nest Simply Swift™
- Crushed ice
Step 1: Warm the Coconut Milk
In a small saucepan, whisk 1 tablespoon of honey into 50 ml of coconut milk. Gently heat over medium temperature, stirring frequently, until it begins to bubble for about 2-3 minutes—this takes about 2–3 minutes. This step helps the flavors come together and gives the soup a smooth texture.
Step 2: Prepare the Bird’s Nest
Prepare 1 piece of Golden Nest Simply Swift™ using either the stovetop or microwave method—no soaking required. That’s the beauty of Simply Swift™ edible bird’s nest: it’s ready to use and saves time without compromising quality!
- Stovetop: Simmer for about 15 minutes
- Microwave: Heat for around 4 minutes
Note: Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s frequency
Step 3: Combine and Stir
Add the prepared bird’s nest to the coconut mixture. Stir to evenly disperse the nest threads. They’ll absorb the liquid and create a delicate texture.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
Pour the soup into small bowls and top with crushed ice for a cool, soothing finish—ideal for hot summer days. For an extra touch of flavor and texture, garnish with a drizzle of honey, a sprinkle of coconut flakes, or a few slices of fresh fruit.
