Chinese New Year is only just over 3 days ago. After having feasted on so many goodies during the festive holidays, I made these healthy jellies with dried chrysanthemum flowers and longan. This jelly has a delicate, slightly floral aroma of chrysanthemum and sweetness of the dried longan. Very refreshing and cooling jelly dessert that can be served at anytime of the day.

- 1 pkt agar agar powder - 10g
- 135 g rock sugar
