Q's-Seaweed Jelly

There are many methods to cook this fresh seaweed. Some prefer it as drink and some prefer it in jelly. You can also add in ingredients like Dried Longan, Kei Chee, Pak Hub, North and/or South Almond or even Sea Coconut.
Here I like to share with you the step-by-step on how to cook the Seaweed Jelly my way.

Step 1 - Weight 50 gm of the dried seaweed and
soak in pipe water for about 8 to 10 hours or till it is soft
and is clear in colour.

Step 2 - This is how it look like after number of hours soaking.
Drain dry.

Step 3 - Here I add in (from top left clockwise) 10gm Pak Hub,
20gm Dried Longan,  50gm Cube Rock Sugar,
10gm North/South Almond and 2 liter Water

Step 4 - Boiled in medium fire and keep stirring till
seaweed dissolved. Portion out and once cool store in fridge
overnight.

You can also substitute water with Fresh Soyabean Milk.  The step is the same as above. Below is how it look like.
