Ingredients

  • 1 tsp agar agar powder
  • 2 cups coconut water
  • 1/2 cup white sugar, adjust to desired sweetness

Instructions

  • Combine coconut water and agar agar powder in a mixing bowl. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
    1 tsp agar agar powder, 2 cups coconut water
  • Heat the mixture in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the agar agar is fully dissolved. You can check if it’s done by running the back of a spoon through the liquid—there should be no visible granules.
  • Add sugar and stir well until it’s completely dissolved.
    1/2 cup white sugar
  • Pour the mixture into a mold of your choice and let it cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to the fridge to set it completely. Coconut jelly cubes typically take about 1-2 hours to fully set in the fridge. Once set, slice into cubes or any shape you like and enjoy!
