Ingredients
- 2 cups Strong coffee
- 1 tbsp Agar powder
- 1/4 cup Coconut condensed milk
- 1/2 cup Coconut milk
Steps
- Brew the coffee double strength. Chilling mutes flavor considerably, so start much bolder than you{Q}d drink it.
- While the coffee is still hot, whisk in the agar powder and sugar until completely dissolved. Beginner tip: agar must boil for 1 full minute to activate properly. Bring it to a simmer, don’t just warm it, or the jelly won’t set.
- Stir in the coconut condensed milk until smooth and uniform in color.
- Pour into a shallow dish and refrigerate at least 2 hours, until firmly set.
- Cut the set jelly into 1/2-inch cubes with a sharp knife.
- Divide the cubes among 4 glasses.
- Pour the cold coconut milk over the cubes and serve with a spoon. The jelly should be firm enough to chew pleasantly, not melt. If it{Q}s soft, it needed a longer boil.
