The Beijing Suan Nai is the creation of beverage consultant Paul Mathew. It’s beautiful to behold, as white and soft as fresh snow. The flavor is creamy and delicate, with honey and almond at the forefront.
Mathew’s recipe calls for unsweetened yogurt, which adds luscious body and a slight tang. It also calls for honey – if you have honey syrup, use twice the amount to account for the additional water.
