Ingredients

2 cups fruit juice
1/2 teaspoon agar agar
2 tablespoons sugar (optional)

Instructions

Pour the juice into a sauce pan. If using add the sugar and stir. Add the agar agar. Then bring it to a boil on medium heat. When it begins to boil, turn the heat down to low heat and cook for 4 minutes, whisking constantly with a whisk.
Pour the mixture into a glass or moulds. Don't worry it's totally normal that it hasn't set yet and is still like juice.
Place in the fridge and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Carefully remove it from the jello mold or just enjoy it in the glass or mold without removing it.

Notes

Once your jello has set, store it in the fridge. It will turn very liquidly again if stored at room temperature.
It's important that your juice agar agar mixture will come to a full boil. Otherwise it won't set properly.
Also make sure to constantly stir the mixture as it boils to ensure that the agar agar is evenly distributed. Otherwise some parts of the juice might not contain enough agar agar to set completely.
You should use agar agar powder and not flakes for this recipe. Powder is more concentrated and it can't be replaced one-to-one. The basic rule is that you can replace 1 teaspoon of agar agar powder with 1 tablespoon of agar agar flakes, but I haven't tried it for this recipe yet.
