Instructions
1. Cut the grass jelly into cubes, around 1 cm in size, and set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, combine water and agar-agar powder. Stir well to dissolve.

6. Pour the slightly cooled agar-agar mixture into the milk and honey mixture, stirring constantly to combine.
7. Add the grass jelly cubes and mix them gently to distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
