Coconut water & pomegranate agar agar

In the past 2 - 3 months of hot humid weather here, we have been quenching our thirst and cooling our temperature with ice cold water, various kinds of juices and coconut water. Of course having lots of fresh fruits and some frozen yogurt barks :)

It has been ages since I last had some pomegranates. Though I know pomegranate is an extremely healthy fruit. Read more here.  Somehow ... I didn't really like 'eating' the seeds.  As I was eating and swallowing the seeds, I thought why not add some to make agar agar with coconut water.

Coconut Water & Pomegranate Agar Agar
Ingredients:
500ml coconut water
1.5 tablespoon granulated sugar (* do adjust the sweetness to your preference)
1.5 teaspoon Agar Agar powder
2 pieces of pandan leaves, knotted
Some pomegranate rinsed

Method:
1) Mix the agar agar powder and sugar together well. Pour the mixture into the pot of coconut water with pandan leaves.

2) Cook with low flame and stirring occasionally and bring to a boil. Off the flame. Discard the pandan leaves.

3) Put some pomegranate in the mould. Pour agar agar mixture into mould, chill to set in fridge a few hours before serving.

Serve with more pomegranates to eat alongside with the chilled desserts. I've learned to appreciate the whole 'crunchy' texture of agar agar and sweet seeds with every mouthful bite. Enjoy !
