Matcha Milk Agar Agar

I can't quite recall where I've seen this recipe and didn't add the link to my favourites then.  When I tried to google for it, I can't find it now.  Anyway, I didn't want to spend too much time searching for it so I came out with my own version.

Ingredients
1 packet (12g) agar agar powder
1000ml water
180g caster sugar

    A very refreshing and simple dessert!! I think it's a popular dessert from the Canton area, especially HK. Perhaps, you got the inspiration from some HK blogger?

    Keep it up!

    Tracie,
    I think it shouldn't be a problem but the agar agar prob won't be as "fragrant".

    Sonia,
    Yes, it's great for a HOT HOT day!

    Pei-Lin,
    Is it? I only know how to associate matcha with Japanese :P

    Hi Cheryl,
    I'm glad you like this. The agar agar was slightly too sweet for us too, I'll have to adjust the sweetness next time.

    Edith, I think you are right, it's probably from your blog. Too many bloggers, too many recipes and age is catching up, can't remember :P
