Ingredients
- 400 ml coconut milk
- 400 ml coconut water
- 10 g agar-agar powder
- 100 g sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the coconut milk, coconut water, and agar-agar powder. Stir the mixture well and let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow the agar-agar to dissolve slightly.
Step 2
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil while stirring continuously to prevent the agar-agar from settling at the bottom.
Step 3
Once it reaches a boil, add the sugar and a pinch of salt. Continue stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into a mold or a shallow dish and let it cool down at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
Step 7
Once the mixture has cooled slightly, transfer it to the refrigerator and let it set completely for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Step 8
Once set, cut the jelly into cubes or desired shapes and serve chilled.
