Homemade Coconut Jelly Cubes prepared according to the Wolf Ember recipe

Homemade Coconut Jelly Cubes

These are simple agar-based coconut jelly cubes for adding to tea, milk tea, tropical refreshers, and boba-style drinks. This is different from fermented nata de coco; it is a quick homemade jelly with a soft, clean coconut flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coconut water
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar, to taste
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons agar-agar powder

Step-by-step instructions

1. Combine the ingredients.
Add the coconut water, coconut milk, sugar, and agar powder to a small saucepan and whisk well.

2. Bring to a boil.
Heat over medium heat, whisking frequently. Once the mixture reaches a full boil, continue boiling for about 1 minute.

3. Pour and chill.
Pour into a shallow container and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.

4. Cut into cubes.
Slice into small cubes sized for a wide boba straw.

Pairing ideas

  • Mango Treat
  • Peach Paradise
  • Jasmine
  • Hibiscus Berry
  • Tropical iced teas
  • Milk teas made with black tea

Wolf Ember tip

Keep the coconut flavor soft enough that it complements the tea rather than covering it.
