VEGAN GELATIN

I've experimented with these a lot and have finally found a combination that comes out as stiff as gelatin desserts but are completely vegan. Works well as a substitute for gelatin in other recipes or just as treats on it's own. Half of a cup of chilled juice can be replaced with your favorite liquor to make a cocktail.

Tips:

Use high-quality agar agar powder: Look for organic and non-GMO agar agar powder to ensure the best results.

Bloom the agar agar powder before using: Blooming helps the agar agar powder absorb water and dissolve more easily. To bloom the agar agar powder, whisk it with a small amount of water and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before adding it to the rest of your ingredients.

Use the right amount of agar agar powder: The amount of agar agar powder you need will depend on the desired consistency of your dish. For a firm gel, use 1 tablespoon of agar agar powder per cup of liquid. For a softer gel, use 1/2 tablespoon of agar agar powder per cup of liquid.

Bring the mixture to a boil: Agar agar powder needs to be brought to a boil in order to activate it. Once the mixture has come to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1-2 minutes.

Let the mixture cool slightly before using: Once the mixture has been removed from the heat, let it cool slightly before using. This will help prevent the agar agar from setting too quickly.

Store the agar agar gel properly: Agar agar gel can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. To store the gel, pour it into a mold or container and cover it tightly with plastic wrap.

Conclusion:

Agar agar is a versatile vegan gelatin alternative that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to use and can be used to make a variety of delicious and healthy dishes. With its many health benefits, agar agar is a great choice for those looking for a healthier alternative to gelatin.
