Carol gave this to me a few months ago and I had put it aside because I didn't have time to figure out what it was and I knew it was either some herbal tea or dessert.
Finally, I had some time last weekend and decided to cook this - not the entire block of course.
The brown block consists of 6 mini blocks. I just used one of the mini blocks just to test it out.
Actually, no cooking was needed. It's so easy that even a child could make this. Top marks for extreme convenience!
I was puzzled by the instructions nonetheless. Whoever who wrote this doesn't know what he or she is writing about. It needed some deciphering so I read it once and realized it's a jelly. It seemed simple enough except that the tip given was quite confusing. What does it mean - hot drink recommended? Does the company mean it's best taken warm? But how could the jelly be eaten warm when it had to be refrigerated?
Anyway, this is what happens when the company pays no attention to proper copywriting. As a copywriter, I always get peeved when instructions aren't clear. This is one of those examples.
It was easy enough though to make the sea coral jelly. I just diluted one block or one square in a glass bowl of 500 ml of boiling hot water. Stir until the block is dissolved and then pour into jelly moulds. Cool in the fridge for a few hours and enjoy!
The jelly was pleasantly cooling and not too sweet. It's one of the best instant jellies I've ever made, maybe because it was so easy!
Apparently, the product is made in Singapore but I bet most of the ingredients are from Malaysia.
