Agar-agar jelly
Description
Agar-agar is a plant-based gelatin substitute derived from seaweed. It is used in making jellies, marmalades, candies, aspics, and cold desserts. The jelly made with agar-agar turns out transparent, unlike jelly made with starch. Agar-agar has no distinct taste, so the drink retains the berry flavor. The only drawback is that this thickener is much more expensive than starch. The drink is ready to serve.
