Ingredients
Units
- 28.5 g agar agar (China grass or powder)
- 230 g granulated white sugar
- 1.2 liters water, milk or oat milk
- a few drops of food coloring of your choice
- 4 Tbsp flaked almonds, crushed almonds or crushed pistachios (optional)
- 2 Tbsp rose water (optional)
- icing sugar, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Soak the agar agar in the milk or water for 2 hours.
- Once soaked, bring to a gentle simmer in a medium-size pot.
- Add the sugar and wait for everything to dissolve fully, stirring every few minutes. This should take around 5-10 minutes.
- Add the food coloring and rose water, if using, and mix well.
- Once mixed, pour into a Pyrex dish through a sieve to ensure that no lumps are left.
- At this point, mix in your nuts, if using. Alternatively, wait for a skin to form on top of the jelly, which should happen after 5-10 minutes, and sprinkle with your nut topping of choice.
- Leave to cool at room temperature, and then store in the fridge.
- Cut into squares or diamond shapes and dust with icing sugar (optional) before serving.
