– A lot of tutorials suggest using a spherical mold, but the agar bond is so weak, that the sphere does not ‘sit’ well without falling apart (see picture below). – Agar sets at room temperature, but since this dessert uses such small quantities of the stuff, you will need to refrigerate it overnight or for at least 5-6 hours. If you see agar sitting at the bottom, boil it for a minute more, stirring constantly. – When you see the cooled liquid, you should see it clear, without any pooled agar settlements at the bottom. – Let cool completely, before pouring it into molds. – Dissolve the agar agar in the water, and bring it to a rolling boil for a good 1 minute.
The clearer the water, the more transparent the end result is. – Use filtered water, or even better, bottled spring/mineral water. Here are a few things to remember while making yourself this water cake: When I tried using filtered water, it resulted in a slightly cloudy product with no detriment in taste. Living in the city, getting our hands on clean, natural spring water is a little hard, but try using bottled mineral/spring water instead. No wonder it is so popular everywhere! Rarity and unattainability truly adds to the allure of an object. In theory, the water is solidified using agar agar, set in a spherical mold and as easy as it sounds, it took me no less than 7 tries to get it right despite following recipes to the letter!
