桂花杞子大菜糕(Osmanthus Goji Berry) /柚子蜜(Honey Citron)大菜糕 Agar agar jelly

I want to try this dessert long time ago. I know there is Agar agar powder for sale. But I always want to use the natural Agar agar to make the dessert. This is the first time I saw and bought natural Agar agar. I also found 桂花糖as well. I decided to make 桂花杞子大菜糕和柚子蜜大菜two kind of flavors. The agar agar that I bought is 30g and it can make 10-13 cups of jellies (the amount is adjust to the texture you like to have) . It is quite a lot. I decided to make 2 flavors.

柚子蜜 Honey Citron Tea 3Tbsp

3. Drain water and take agar agar out.
