Sago at Gulaman Recipe

A local Filipino beverage made of brown sugar, water, gelatin, and tapioca pearls is called Sago at Gulaman. Sago refers to tapioca pearls while gulaman is the Filipino term for gelatin. This recipe is somewhat a special version because both ingredients are combined together.

Sago-at-Gulaman

This beverage can be simplified further by using either of the components: tapioca pearls or gelatin. It will then be named after the ingredient used. In the Philippines, this beverage is sold almost everywhere. Large plastic or glass jars are filled up with the concoction along with generous amounts of ice. Generally called “palamig” – which is translated as refreshment – this is one way to beat the heat.

I enjoy having this while eating fish balls. The sweetness of this drink takes away the zing of the fish ball sauce.

  3. I´ve watched the video twice, but I do not see the part when you mix the gulaman that is already refrigerated. Also, what kind of sugar did you use??? Can I use agar-agar and is the procedure the same as the powdered gelatine. Thanks.

  4. I saw some recipe for sago and gulaman that has pandan leaves. How can I use with pandan leaves.
