2. Boil 400ml of water and mix in 2 tbsp instant coffee and 3 tbsp of sugar. Mix until completely dissolved.
3. Pour the gelatin into the coffee while it's still hot and mix well.

Agar agar

5. Allow to gently boil for 1-2 minutes, keep stirring to make sure there's no agar burning at the bottom of the pan.
6. Add the coffee and mix well.
7. When it's ready, the coffee jelly mixture should thinly coat the spoon/spatula. Remove it from the heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.
