CRYSTAL AGAR AGAR

CRYSTAL AGAR AGAR

I   avoid the jelly powder as its ingredients contain  bone powder ............. but children like to have it seeing the crystal color and the flippy texture........... my Son  was so sad as I did not allow him to eat konnyaku jelly   ........  I tried  to make it with agar agar and it turn out to be a great success ...........when he saw it for the first time he said can't just believe it is agar agar.........  I use the strawberry paste and essence ........... for years I am making it for my son ........... as usual I made it for him this year also ......................
