Agar agar gummies

Ingredients

200 g liquid, at least 90% water

2-6 g agar agar powder, big gummies call for 3 g

8 tsp sugar or a sugar alternative

Directions

Follow instructions on packaging, but:

Prepare your flavored liquid base (i.e. water with low calorie syrup / sweetener / flavor drops, as long as it is not very acidic it should work!)

Dissolve agar-agar powder in it (1-3% by weight depending on desired level of stiffness, i.e. 2g for 100g liquid for 2%)

Bring to boil and boil for half a minute or so

Pour into candy molds

Extract in 10-30 minutes, depending on size/thickness/temperature etc, can speed this up by putting them in the fridge

Optionally, let outer layer dry out in open air for a while, toss them with granulated erythritol or dust with powdered erythritol or anything else.

If you don't have candy molds, use ice cube tray and cut them up later (if desired), or any other dish and cut into smaller pieces.

Notes

agar-agar is a vegan gelatin alternative, it is entirely soluble fiber, needed in much lesser concentration to achieve comparable level of jelly firmness, and most importantly it sets and is stable at room temperature, meaning you can just have these on your desk all day and they won't melt! Texture is not the same as gelatin, agar jellies are... umm... more stiff and less jiggly?
