Ingredients
Part A
10 grams
agar-agar powder
1 litre
water
200g (scant
1 cup) sugar
Food
colouring
Part B
10 grams
agar-agar powder
600 ml water
200g (scant
1 cup) sugar
400 ml
coconut milk
½ teaspoon
salt
Food
colouring
Method
1.
Prepare a container about at least 3 inches
high, about 10” x 10” in size.
2.
Combine ingredients in Part A (except for food
colouring) in a pot and bring to a boil, stirring frequently until the agar
powder is dissolved. Turn off heat and keep warm.
3.
At the same time, combine the agar powder, water
and sugar in Part B in another pot and bring to a boil. Then add coconut milk
and salt, and bring it back to a boil. Turn off the heat immediately and keep
warm.
4.
Measure 200ml of the mixture from A and pour
into a jug, and add a few drops of food colouring. Mix well. Pour into the
prepared container and leave in the fridge to cool for 5 minutes or until
almost set (but not completely firm).
5.
While waiting, prepare 200ml of the coconut
mixture from Part B and add food colouring.
6.
When the first layer has almost set, use a fork
to lightly scratch the surface so that when you pour in the second layer, the
layers stick together when they harden.
7.
Gently pour in the coconut mixture from step 5,
and then leave to cool until almost set. Scratch the surface with a fork.
8.
Repeat steps 4-7 until mixture is used up.
Refrigerate until cold before cutting into slices.
