Coffee agar. Boiling the agar thoroughly makes the texture smoother.

Today, I found some leftover red agar-agar in the cupboard, so I decided to make coffee agar-agar again.

The finished product had a smoother texture, perhaps because I boiled the agar-agar for a longer time. It seems it’s better to dissolve the agar-agar thoroughly.

Coffee Agar-Agar (Instructions)

・First, I put 750g of water on the stove and added the agar-agar.

・I continued stirring for about 3 minutes to dissolve the agar-agar thoroughly.

・The boiling water turned a beautiful pink color.

・Here, I added 15g of instant coffee powder, stirred well, and then turned off the heat.

・To prevent the plastic container from deforming due to the heat, I placed it in a bowl of water and poured in the coffee agar-agar.

・Once it had cooled down, I removed the plastic container from the bowl and put it in the refrigerator.

・After leaving it in the refrigerator for about a day to ensure it was firm enough, I cut it out.
