Ok, so we’re not really headed to Thailand, but it totally felt like it when we got our new Try The World box. You guys know how excited we are to try new recipes and foods, especially from around the world. That’s why we love getting our Try The World box! This months theme was Thailand, which had lots of Thai foods and recipes included. We loved that this box was curated by Jet Tila, who is definitely one of our favorite judges on Cutthroat Kitchen! #Swoon. This box had one of the best culture guides we’ve had. It included a great “24 Hours in Thailand” recipe guide that set out dishes for you to make to really get into the Thai experience with every meal. See how you can save 15% off a regular subscription, or store items at the end of this post!
We decided to follow this guide, and make 2 of the dishes using our items from the box. The first one we did wasn’t really a dish, but it was a delicious Thai Iced Tea. We’d never made a tea like this before, so it was an adventure for sure. It was really sweet with the Coconut Flower Syrup, Loose Leaf Thai Iced Tea, and creamy because of the Almond milk we added. The best thing about it is, you can drink it cold, or hot, either way its totally amazing. Sara is definitely a huge fan. You can check out the full recipe and see how we made it in the video below.
We also made some Jasberry Rice Pudding for a dessert. We used the block of Jasberry Rice that we got from our box, along with the Coconut Flower Syrup, and fresh fruit to make this wonderful dish. If you like rice pudding this would be really great for you. the syrup makes it so sweet, and the Jasberry Rice is healthier than regular rice, since it has 3x’s the antioxidants. It also has a wonderful smell when its cooking that just really sets your mouth watering.
To make yourself some of the Jasberry Rice Pudding, you’ll need a few ingredients:
1 Block Jasberry Rice
1 Tbsp. Coconut Flower Syrup
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 can of Coconut Milk
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
Kiwi for garnish (or any fruit you wish)
The first thing you need to do is, wash your rice thoroughly. Then bring the rice, salt, and 3 1/2 cups of water to a boil. Then cover your pot and let it simmer for 35 mins. After 35 mins, stir in your coconut milk, sugar, and coconut flower syrup and let simmer. Stir occasionally for about 20 mins.
Cool & Serve! Super easy, right?! You can have this with your Thai Iced Tea, or just eat it by itself. It’s awesome just about any way.
So with these few recipes we really felt like we were able to get the full Thai experience. Plus there’s so much more included in the box, so we’ll definitely be busy for a little while. We definitely love Try the World, and we love our boxes. We think its a great idea for all of you foodies out there who love to try new things and create new and exciting dishes. It’s also so structured that even if you don’t consider yourself a good cook, you can still enjoy it with their step by step recipes. Plus with all of the great information included about each country it would be a great teaching tool if you had kids. You can make some dishes from around the world, turn on the Try the World Playlist, and let them discover something new and awesome! You can also get 15% off of a regular subscription, shop item, or gift boxes with our code “PerfectStorm15”!
This sounds like such a great box! I love trying new food so this box would be perfect for me!
I’m sure you would love it 🙂
We love Try The World! We have tried a few of their boxes and loved every one of them. Our favorite was the Japan box.
Oh awesome! We never got to try the Japan box, but we loved all of their other boxes. 🙂
How fun! Random but when I first got married and wanted to learn how to cook I took a few cooking classes from Jet, and now he’s all big and famous, so cool! He is such a nice guy and was super fun and informative to take a few classes with him! And this box is pretty amazing.
Oh that’s so cool! I would love to take a cooking class with a celebrity chef. He does seem like a really cool guy!
Try The World has amazing boxes. I love that you can try stuff from all around the world.
We agree! we love it since you can have fun and experiment with the different foods. 🙂
Those items all sound quite flavorful. That box is a good way to get a feel for some foods from another culture.
We agree!
Oh wow those flavor combinations sound amazing! I have wanted to try this box and I’m so glad to see a personal review!
Thank you! Yeah we’ve had a few of the boxes now. We really like them!
I’ve never had anything like this before, but it looks awesome and sounds really good!
🙂 Thanks!
Awesome! Never heard of this program nor have I ever eaten thai food! Guess I need to expand my culinary horizons!
Yep, sometimes it can be a great thing to get out of the box
Wow – this Try The World box is so unique! Love how they offer you a taste of somewhere else. Thailand looked yummy! That is such a clever idea! I will definitely check this out!

Thanks! Yeah we definitely love it, and Thailand was SO yummy! 🙂
I’ve always wanted to try a box like this! Sounds awesome. I may have to try it!
You totally should!
What a great way to travel and discover the world when you can’t actually be there! I need to get this box
I wholeheartedly agree!
What a cool product. I’ve not heard of them before, but it sounds really fun experience. I’ve never tried anything Thai before, but this would be a great way to do it.
We hadn’t either actually, so it was an adventure for us! lol
I’ve been seeing more of Try the World posts and now you all have me wanting to give it a try. I’m going to wait a little while longer though to see what else will be coming but I would have loved to get a Thailand box.
Yeah we’ve gotten several of their boxes. they’re really taking peoples feedback and improving them each box. You can get the Thailand one through the end of February. They’re announcing what the next country will be on Feb 25th :O
What a really super neat way to get to experience a bit of “traveling food” without having to actually travel! I mean, I would love to travel but when you can’t, this is the next best thing! I’m so looking this up, my husband would love it!
Yeah that what I thought as well. It’s a win win! I hope you guys love it 🙂
This sounds pretty cool. I love to try new foods and products from around the world.
Same here!
We have a Thai exchange student. I’m going to show this to her!
Let us know what she thinks! 🙂
I’ve tried a lot of box subs but I’ve never heard of this one. Looks like great products.
Thank you! Yeah its pretty unique 😉
Try The World sounds like a fantastic idea. It is great to experience different food from different countries.
We agree!!
I have tried a little bit of Thai food and what I did try I really enjoyed. This sounds like a great box of different flavors.
Definitely! Theres a lot of variety and flavors for sure
I love cooking international dishes and we love Thai food. Thai Iced tea is so good and love that you used almond milk. I host a Travel the World in Books Reading Challenge and love exploring new cultures in books. I need to check out this monthl box to Travel the world in food…yum!
Thanks! We love cooking them as well, although we’re a bit new to international dishes lol. Oh wow we’ll have to try out your challenge n take a look
I love Thai food and these are interesting items. I am curious about the Jasberry rice.
It was really good 🙂
My husband loved the couple of try the world boxes we had. I think they are a lot of fun and its such a great way to try foods from all over.
Agreed! I’m glad he liked them 🙂
I have seen this box a few different times! I think it would be so much fun to try it out. I love trying foods from other cultures.
Sounds like a great box. I would love to try that tea. I love tea hot or cold. This really does feel like you’re traveling the world via your senses.
I loved that tea! Ever since I had it I’ve been wanting more. 🙂
What a fun box!! When I read your post title I thought how fun to travel there!! I really love jasmine rice too!!!
Oh we love it! It’s such a fun thing to try all of the different ethnic foods!
I love Thai food, but don’t get to have it very often. There are VERY few Thai restaurants close to where we live so that means I have to make it at home. This would be a great subscription box to try out!
Yeah same here, there are none around me. I hadn’t even tried Thai food before at all. You would probably like this one, you can prepare Tom Yum, Jasberry Rice and other things yourself.
What a great box! Thai flavors are my favorite and this rice pudding sounds delicious!
It was pretty tasty 🙂
Never heard of this box before. Sounds awesome! Good Luck with traveling to Thailand. What a wonderful experience for you both.
It was figuratively traveling to Thailand.
Try the World is such an awesome subscription box! I hope to be able to resubscribe to it sometime in the very near future.
Awesome! I hope you enjoy!
Okay I want to go to Thailand, or at least pretend I am there through Try The World 🙂 What a cool box of goodies, this would be so much fun for my family since I homeschool.
Yes definitely. It can be a great educational tool for the kiddos.
What a cool box to try!! I love to try new food and this looks like a great way to try them!
Totally agree!
ooooo I absolutely LOVE this idea! I really enjoy ethnic foods so this appeals to me so much. Jasberry rice sounds really fun!
It was super fun! 😀 You should check it out
I have always wanted to try this! I really do want to try new foods, I just never know what to grab and what recipe to use!
I know what you mean! That’s why the culture guides included in Try the World is so helpful
This looks really cool! What a fun way to let kids and families experience other countries and cultures without ever leaving their house. 🙂
Thanks! We agree!
This looks like so much fun! I’d love to actually go to Thailand but this could be the next best thing, right? Thanks so much for sharing with us at Share The Wealth Sunday!
