How to Make It
[Step 1] Peel the peaches, cut them into bite-sized pieces, and place them in a glass.
[Step 2] Put the milk, sugar, and agar powder in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 1 to 2 minutes to ensure the agar is completely dissolved.
[Step 3] Remove from heat, add the yogurt (which has been left to return to room temperature) a little at a time, and mix with a whisk until smooth, making sure no lumps form.
[Step 4] Gently pour the mixture into the glasses containing the peaches, then chill in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours until set. That’s it!
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
One of the most common mistakes is “not boiling the agar-agar thoroughly enough.” Powdered agar-agar only develops its setting power after being heated for an additional 1 to 2 minutes after the liquid comes to a boil. Also, adding all the cold yogurt at once can cause it to separate, so be sure to use yogurt that has been brought to room temperature and mix it in gradually in several batches—this is a foolproof technique to avoid failure.
A Quick Tip for Making It Taste Great
Be sure to bring the yogurt to room temperature before adding it. If you add it while it’s still cold, the agar will set too quickly, resulting in a grainy texture. Aim for a smooth texture.
In Closing
While it’s chilling, take some time to relax and listen to your favorite music. Drizzling a little honey on top or garnishing it with mint when you eat it will really enhance that “home café” vibe. Treat yourself to this refreshing, delicious treat as a reward for all your hard work.
