Step by Step Method
Step 1
Combine water and agar agar in a medium saucepan and heat over low until agar agar is completely dissolved.
Step 2
Add sugar and stir until dissolved and mixture is frothy and slightly stringy
Step 3
Remove from heat and add flavoring
Step 4
Pour the mixture into a tray (I like to use a caserole dish)
Step 5
You can use food coloring to tint the whole batch, or use a tooth pick to swirl drops of coloring though the mixture
Step 6
Chill mixture in the fridge until it has set, like firm jello
Step 7
Remove from tray and cut or tear into smaller pieces
Step 8
Let the pieces sit in an undisturbed area for three to five days to crystalize
