Soak "malagkit na bigas" in water overnight with water to the
top of the rice. Drain water completely in the morning.
Prepare the banana leaves by running on fire (oven top) till
limp or wilted.
Mix the well-drained "malagkit" with coconut milk and anise.
Spoon desired amount of mixture into banana leaves. Sprinkle
white sugar on top of the ready to roll mixture.
Fold to a half or simply roll to wrap, then fold both ends and
tie using small pieces of the banana leaves.
Wrap and tie securely to prevent bursting during boiling.
Boil 2-3 hours on medium heat. Check one on top to see if done
before or after the hour.
Add more water if the water in the pan is getting low.
Should make 30 pieces or more Sumans of 4-5 inches long and about a
quarter-size round.
