Ingredients for coffee layer

5 cups of water

White layer

Method

  • Mix the instant coffee with warm water and set aside.
  • For the coffee layer mix agar-agar powder with water bring to the boil over medium heat in a saucepan. Stir continuously until all the agar-agar dissolves, then add sugar continue boiling until the sugar dissolve, add coffee, stir well, and then turn the heat to the lowest.
  • For the coconut, layer mix water and agar-agar powder together, bring to the boil over medium heat. Boil until the agar-agar dissolves, and then add coconut milk, sugar and salt together. Stir regularly to prevent the coconut cream from separating. Bring to a slow boil until the mixture dissolve completely, turn down the heat to the lowest.

Continue with this process until each mold is full. Leave to completely cool before remove from the mold.
