Magenta Leaf Sticky Rice

Method

1. 1 Boil the perilla leaves in water until all the purple color is extracted, then filter the liquid and let it cool.
2. 2 Soak glutinous rice in water infused with purple leaves for 6 hours to ensure the rice grains absorb the color evenly.
3. 3 Drain the rice and mix it with a little salt.
4. 4 Steam the sticky rice for 30 minutes, stirring it once in the middle.
5. 5 Mix the grated coconut and sugar into the hot sticky rice, then toss to loosen the grains.
