"A cooling end to a Sichuan meal full of tingly heat" (as Mahira Rivers wrote in Food & Wine) or, simply, cool relief from hot weather on the Lower East Side: bingfen. What the restaurant calls "rain drop jelly" is soured by tamarind juice; mix-ins include sesame seeds, raisins, peanuts, rose petals, and haw flakes.
