Kohakutou - Japanese Crystal Candy 🍬 If you’ve seen people buying the Silky Gem brand of these candies…I need you to know how cheap it is to just make them yourself at home. Recipe below! Ingredients: ½ cup water 1 tsp agar agar powder (3g) 1 cup sugar (215g) Flavor (e.g. lychee in this video) Food coloring 1. Dissolve agar agar powder in water and bring to a simmer and stirring til dissolved. 2. Add in sugar, stir until dissolved and then mix in your desired flavouring. Simmer (small bubbles) for about 5 minutes until it thickens into a syrupy texture. Be careful not to over boil (it will spill over and make a mess). 3. Pour into a square or rectangular heat resistant container (or into candy molds) and let cool for 5-10 minutes. *Tip: if there is microfoam on top, simply use a spoon to skim it off 4. Add food coloring into whatever design or color scheme you like. 5. Cool in fridge for 2-3 hours until completely set, then remove from the container and use a knife to cut into whatever shapes you like. Tip: pile up any cuttings to form unique clusters. 6. Place on parchment paper and let dry on the counter for 4-7 days. As it dries the moisture leaves the surface and causes the sugars to crystallize, forming a crispy exterior while keeping a jelly like consistency inside! Store in airtight jars. This is a fun one to make with friends and family! #crystalcandy #kohakutou #candymaking #candyrecipe #japanesecandy
