agar-agar

description
Made from several types of seaweed, agar-agar is a great vegetarian alternative to gelatine. It makes a firm jelly which sets without refrigeration and does not melt in hot weather. It is sold in bundles of dried translucent threads or packets of powder/flakes.

What I love about this sweet jelly is that it’s easy to make and looks impressive: the coconut milk separates and sets to form two layers, white on top and translucent underneath.
