Steps

15 minutes

1

Prepare the ingredients. Fill a pot with 8 1/2 cups water (about 2000 milliliters) and bring to a boil.
2

Add the winter melon sugar to the pot and cook for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover, and let the sugar dissolve completely.
3

Mix the agar powder with a little cold water until smooth.
4

Turn the heat back on and bring the winter melon tea to a boil again.
5

Pour in the agar mixture, stirring constantly with a ladle to prevent the agar from settling or sticking to the bottom. Simmer over medium-low heat until it comes to a boil.
6

Once everything is fully dissolved, turn off the heat and pour the mixture into a container.
7

Let it cool and set, then refrigerate.

Cut into your favorite shapes and enjoy chilled.

Tips:
* The agar jelly will set even at room temperature, but it's best enjoyed chilled. Let it cool and partially set, then refrigerate for 30-60 minutes before serving.
* Mixing the agar powder with water first makes it easier to dissolve.
