Whisk the wheat starch with 1 cup cold water until smooth.
Bring 5 cups water and the sugar to a boil in a pot.
Pour the starch mixture into the boiling sweet water in a thin stream.
Cook over low heat for 8 minutes, stirring constantly, until clear and glossy.
Divide the dessert among bowls and cool at room temperature for 20 minutes.
Chill for at least 1 hour, then serve with cinnamon.
💡 Tip: Fully dissolving the starch in cold water lets the dessert turn clear without lumps.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve cold in bowls with cinnamon or finely chopped walnuts on top.
