Agar Gel Recipe

 

For a firm jelly you require approximately 2 teaspoons of powder or 2

Tablespoons of flakes per 1 pint ( 600ml) of liquid.

 

Agar agar should be soaked in the liquid first for 10-15 minutes,

then gently brought to a boil and simmered while stirring until it

dissolves completely, this will take about 5 minutes for powder and

10-15 minutes for flakes. Unlike gelatin, agar agar can be boiled and

can even be re-melted if necessary. If you are unsure as to the

setting ability of your gel, test a small amount on a cold saucer -

it should set in 20-30 seconds, if not you may need more agar agar,

if too firm - add some more liquid.
