Hi
I
love dessert especially the Chinese dessert.
Dessert, of any kinds, are able to make people happy and relaxed. For Chinese desserts, the older people
believed that if it consumes properly, it’ll nourish the internal organs,
energise the body, and add a healthy sheen to the skin. Sheen to the skin? Haha! Ladies, so much so that we should take!
:D
Eat it when it is cold from the fridge. It’s so refreshing. If you would like to, you may add Osmanthus (桂花) to it.
Osmanthus will add fragrant to the agar agar.
This
is an easy and well loved desserts treat especially for hot weather like
Singapore.
HAPPY MAKING!
INGREDIENTS
10g Agar agar
100g
Rock sugar (I reduced to 70g)
1/3
cup Dried longan
2
tbsp Qi Zi (Wolfberries)
4
cups Water
METHOD
(1)Cut
agar agar into short lengths and soak them in the water for awhile. Chop dried longan. Rinse and soak Qi Zi (wolfberries)
thoroughly.
(2)Bring
2 cups of water to the boil. Add dried
longan and cook for 15 minutes. Add Qi
Zi and cook for awhile. Put in rock
sugar and cook until it dissolves.
(3)Bring
the remaining 2 cups of water to boil.
Add agar agar and cook over low heat until it dissolves. Pour in the syrup from step (2).

let it cool and refrigerate until it is set.
Un-mould and serve in cool.
