Agar agar Cooking Tips
Our agar agar recipe is incredibly easy to follow. Here are all the tips you need to know when making this delicious and refreshing dessert.
Use a whisk to mix your liquids evenly. Do not use a fork.
Always whisk your agar agar powder into the liquid before heating. This allows the powder and the ingredients to mix together without forming any clumps.
Make sure to watch your jelly mixture as it heats up very quickly. Once it boils, lower the heat to a very low simmer. Keep your jelly mixture over low heat before pouring it into the mould.
