<How to Make Kowloon Balls>

◆ Things you will need

・ 2 tablespoons of sugar

・ 200cc of water

・ 2g of agar powder

(You can also make this with gelatin or agar. Agar has the highest transparency＊)

・ Your favorite fruits, edible flowers, mint, etc. to put inside

・ Round ice cube tray

◆ Instructions

① Cut the fruits and flowers to fit into the ice cube tray. If you cut them to about 70-80% of the tray size, it will create a cute jelly packed with fruits♡

② In a pot, combine the water, agar powder, and sugar, and dissolve well (until it boils).

③ Place the fruits and flowers into the ice cube tray, pour in the liquid made in step 2, and let it set in the refrigerator. If you pour in enough liquid to the point of overflowing, it will create a nice round shape＊

If you cool it too much, the transparency will decrease, so it's best to keep an eye on it and let it chill for about 40 minutes to an hour＊

Kowloon Ball Variations ♡

Kowloon Balls made with agar instead of kanten. Using agar gives it a high transparency and beauty♡ This one includes mandarin oranges, kiwi, strawberries, and peaches＊

A "kanten on kanten jelly" made by mixing edible colorings with kanten and chopping it up – it looks like sparkling crystals and is beautiful!

Putting them in a glass looks refreshing. I want to add soda and enjoy it like a fruit punch♡
