When I was in Hong Kong 2 weeks ago, one of my shopping missions was to buy some dried osmanthus flowers to bring back to Singapore (update: it’s now easy to buy them locally).

I wanted to make a refreshing and healthy osmanthus flower tea jelly (桂花糕) with it. I love the wonderful aroma of the flowers, which is distinctive and yet, gentle at the same time.
Osmanthus Jelly Recipe
If you are not using pre-sweetened konnyaku jelly powder, add appropriate amounts of sugar to taste.
Ingredients:
- 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
Tools
- jelly moulds
Directions:
- 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.
