I went to Taiwan for the summer and loved their ai-yu jelly as a refreshing summer drink! I bought some ai-yu seeds home to make them myself. I don't think I have the steps right, because the jelly does not congel at all. Can someone help me? Here is my recipe:
half cup of au-yu seeds
7 cups of boiled water, cooled to room temperature
I have a cloth strainer and added the seeds into the strainer, put it in the pot of cooled water and squeezed and massaged for 10 minutes. The water did turn a little amber in color and seems to have thickened a little. I put it in the fridge and the next morning it was still sloshy.
My question is, are my proportions about right? and do I have to boil the concoction afterwards (I am thinking about geletin an agar agar, and how they need boiling water).
I know I can buy the canned ai-yu jelly, but I'd like to be able to make my own. Thanks a lot!
