Homemade Taho

Missing your taho fix? Although we usually eat taho (soybean curd) in the morning, we can also have it as merienda. We get our taho from street peddlers or buy it from convenience stores. But during the quarantine period, we can’t help but miss it, right? Crave no more! We can actually make one in the comfort of our homes. Kusina ni Lola shares her homemade taho recipe using soy milk (unsweetened), unflavored gelatin, mini sago (tapioca), brown sugar, and pandan flavor (optional).
