1 tablespoon of Agar flakes, 2g of powder (1 teaspoon) sets 240mls fluid. Increase the amount of Agar flakes if the fluid is acidic.

Sprinkle Agar gel over the fluid and heat to a simmer without stirring. Stir once simmering and continue to simmer until the Agar flakes have melted 5 to 10 minutes. Add any sugar needed once this time is up.

If making a jelly use half water half fruit juice. Mix the Agar, amount based on total fluid, with the water as above then add the prepared juice, typically pre mixed with sugar. Bring back to the boil and immediately pour into a prepared mould or tray.
