Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 400 ml coconut water
- 10 g agar-agar powder
- 100 g sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, coconut water, and agar-agar powder. Stir the mixture well and let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the agar-agar to dissolve slightly.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring continuously to prevent the agar-agar from settling at the bottom.
Once it reaches a boil, add the sugar and a pinch of salt. Continue stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the mixture into a mold or a shallow dish and let it cool down at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Once the mixture has cooled slightly, transfer it to the refrigerator and let it set completely for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Once set, cut the jelly into cubes or desired shapes and serve chilled.
