Num Lot is Khmer dessert, but the Vietnamese also have the same kind for drink. Use potato ricer to press Nom lot into ice cold water.  I have 2 recipes for you.  Fresh Pandan is best for flavoring Nom Lot.

In a pot mix all the ingredients together until dissolve (not on the stove yet)
Put pot on the stove on medium heat keep  stirring until it is bubble and the batter turn to paste like glue.
when it is thick like glue take it out and whisk vigorously till the batter is translucent paste.
Spoon the batter into Potato Ricer and press into bucket of ice cold water so the paste will cool down quickly then drain in a basket and set it aside until you ready to serve with the coconut  syrup.
