Jelly in Longan Syrup

My school canteen used to sell a cup of jelly longan for RM1.50 each. I loved it a lot and whenever I have extra allowance, I'd buy it for sure (if there is any left). It tastes good especially during hot days.

I started making jelly when I was six or seven, trying to help out my poh-poh in the kitchen so when I stumbled upon Cooking Crave for her soft jelly in longan syrup, I immediately wanted to try making one :)

Instead of using jelly powder, I used jelly strips instead, following my poh-poh's recipe.

Ingredients:

20g jelly strips

1500 ml water

1/2 cup sugar

3/4 cup evaporated milk

1/2 can longan in syrup

Here is how you do it:

1. Bring water to boil and insert jelly strips. Stir constantly until dissolved.

2. Add in sugar and ideal milk. Keep stirring for another 5 mins.

3. Pour jelly into desired mould, cups, bowls, etc. and leave until cool.

4. Add longan and syrup according to your taste.

My jelly came out a bit hard, probably because I added about 1 1/2 cup of evaporated milk. So better reduce it to 3/4cup.

Enjoy! :)
