Recipe in caption (tap here)

These edible crystals and gems are made from a Japanese candy called Kohautou (koe-hah-koo-toe) made from sugar, agar agar, and water.

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 cups cold water
10 grams agar agar powder (Telephone Brand is recommended)
2 3/4 cups granulated sugar
Optional: 1/4 tsp flavoring. I used lychee extract.
A few drops of food coloring

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Lightly grease a 8 x 8 square baking pan. Set aside.
2. Fill a medium-sized pot with cold water. Sprinkle agar agar powder on top of the water and allow it to absorb for 5 minutes.
3. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes while stirring constantly.
4. Add granulated sugar and mix until all the sugar has dissolved (another 2-3 minutes).
5. Remove from heat and add flavoring, if using.
6. Pour the sugar mixture into the greased baking pan.
7. Add in a few drops of food coloring and swirl with a toothpick.
8. Place the pan in the fridge for 2-3 hours until set.
9. To remove the candy from the pan, run a sharp knife around the edges to loosen.
10. Cut into desired shapes.
11. Let dry at room temperature for a few days to form the crystal crust.
