Instructions

Prepare the Agar Agar Mixture

Combine agar agar powder, lychee juice, water, and sugar in a small saucepan. Whisk well to ensure no lumps.

Simmer and Dissolve

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, or until the agar agar is completely dissolved and the mixture is clear.

Add Flavoring and Cool Slightly

Remove from heat and stir in the rose essence. Let the mixture cool slightly, until it's just warm to the touch – but not set.

Add Fruit and Set

Gently fold in the fresh raspberries and lychee pieces. Pour the mixture into your chosen molds (ramekins, small glasses, etc.).

Chill and Serve

Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or until the jelly is fully set and firm. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Vegan Jelly

For a stronger rose flavor, use rose water instead of rose essence.
Feel free to experiment with other fruits – strawberries, blueberries, or even mango would be delicious additions.
To prevent the jelly from becoming too sweet, use less sugar or a sugar substitute.
If your agar agar mixture is too thick after simmering, add a tablespoon or two of cold water to adjust the consistency.
