Konnyaku Jelly Powder

If you are not using pre-sweetened konnyaku jelly powder, add appropriate amounts of sugar to taste.

Serves: 4

Prep Time: 5 mins

Cook Time: 10 mins

1 packet of pre-sweetened konnyaku jelly powder (mine is 250g)
water (according to the konnyaku jelly powder box instructions; mine requires 1250ml)
dried osmanthus flowers 桂花 (1 to 1.5 tsp for every 400ml water)
2 tsp wolfberries soaked in water until puffy; drained

In a pot, add water and bring to a boil. When water is boiling, lower heat and then add osmanthus flowers. Simmer for a short few minutes (roughly 2 minutes).
Add konnyaku jelly powder. Stir until the powder is fully dissolved. Off the flame.
Add 2-4 wolfberries to each jelly mould, then pour the jelly solution prepared in step 2 to fill each mould. Let the jelly cool down a bit in room temperature and chill in fridge until the jelly is set.
