Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons agar agar powder
- 1 cup sugar
- Food coloring any color you like
- Flavor extract strawberry, lemon, or any flavor you want
Instructions
Mix Agar and Water
- Put agar agar powder and water in a saucepan. Stir well before heating. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
Heat the Mixture
- Turn on the stove. Heat the mix while stirring. When it starts to boil, keep stirring so there are no lumps.
Add Sugar
- Add sugar to the mix. Stir until the sugar melts. The mix should look clear and smooth.
Add Flavors and Colors
- Turn off the heat. Add flavor and color drops. Stir softly. You can use small cups to make different colors.
Pour into Molds
- Pour the mix into silicone molds or a tray. Leave it to cool for 1 hour. It should turn firm.
Cut into Shapes
- Take the candy out of the molds. If you used a tray, cut it into small pieces. Make uneven cuts to look like crystals.
Dry the Candy
- Place the candy on a tray. Let it dry for 2–3 days. The outside will get hard, and the inside will stay soft.
Enjoy Your Crystals
- After drying, your Kohakutou Crystal Gummy Candy is ready to eat. It will shine and sparkle like real gems.
Notes
- Use clear agar for a shiny look.
- Don’t overboil; it can make candy too hard.
- Use light colors for a pretty look.
- Keep each color in a separate bowl.
- Don’t keep it in the fridge; let it dry naturally.
