Ingredients

  • 3 g carrageenan powder Japanese Coolagar, Agar agar, gelatine equivalent
  • 300 ml distilled water
  • 20 g sugar white
  • 20 g soy powder for garnishing
  • 4 Tbsp syrup any flavor
  • cherry blossom, tea flowers, cherry, etc. decoration

Tools

  • silicone sphere mold, egg mold... or small bowl
  • small funnel that fit hole on sphere mold
  • toothpicks

Instructions

  • Follow package instruction to coagulate powder or as below.
  • Mix agar/gelatine/carrageenan powder with sugar.
  • Heat water on medium setting. When water is hot but not boiling yet, pour in the powder-sugar mixture while stirring to prevent precipitation.
  • When all powder dissolve and the whole color became clear, it's time to pour into mold

Using silicone sphere mold

  • Place bottom-half mold over an icy cool water bath.
  • Keep the unused jelly liquid warm over the smallest heat setting on your range top (this to prevent it coagulate). Fill to about 3/4 of each half sphere.
  • Add flowers or decorative fruits. Use a toothpick to adjust shape/position or remove any bubble.
  • In case of using fruit for decoration, wait a couple seconds for the jelly layer to half-set before adding the fruit. This is so that it can hold the decoration in place.
  • Replace and secure the other  top half sphere and fill the rest through the small hole on top. If using the smaller ice cube mold, then just fill to 3/4 of the mold, and snap the top layer on top.
  • Let sit to cool down to room temperature. Then chill in fridge until serving.
  • Serve cold after 30 minutes - an hour with soy powder and some syrup.
