Roselle Jelly 洛神花果冻
After my recent post of Roselle Cupcakes using preserved dried Roselle, I finally managed to get the fresh Roselle from the wet market and happily bought 300g home as I wanted to make Roselle Jelly. I remember one of my friends told me before that she doesn’t like the taste of the Roselle Tea as it tasted like Ribena or cough syrup to her. Bearing this in mind, I dropped 3 pcs of preserved plums (not the salted type but semi sweet – 甜酸梅) when boiling the jelly liquid. The Roselle Jelly was not bad at all, didn’t taste much of the Ribena but instead there was a little sweetness of the preserved plums. So good to have this Roselle Jelly in this hot weather.
Many parts of Roselle including seeds, leaves, fruits and roots are used in various foods. They are used fresh for making wine, juice, jam, jelly, syrup, pudding, cakes, ice cream and flavours and also dried and brewed into tea, among other things. The dried fruit part of Roselle, is called calyx.
Ingredients:
- 220g Fresh Roselle calyx
- 2200ml Water
Method:
- Peel roselle calyx and discard the seed. Rinse the calyx several times.
- Place calyx in a pot of 2200ml water and bring to boil. Then change to medium heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes and leave to cool. Strain the roselle and discard.
- You may serve warm or chill as tea with or without sugar/honey added.
材料：
- 220克 新鲜洛神花
- 2200毫升 清水
做法：
- 拿掉种子，洛神花冲洗干净。
- 将洛神花和清水煮沸，转入中火，盖上盖，闷煮30分钟。滤掉洛神花渣。
- 洛神花可热喝或冷藏后喝，糖/蜂蜜或不加，随各人喜欢。
To make Roselle Jelly
- 1000ml Roselle tea
- 1 packet Konnyaku powder (from PH)
- 200g Sugar
- 5-6 pcs Preserved plum, cut into half
- 1/2 tbsp lemon juice (optional)
- Place 1000ml roselle tea into a pot.
- Mix knonnyaku powder and sugar together then pour into the roselle tea.
- Stir mixture to boil at medium heat and drop preserved plums into it and keep stirring the liquid with a hand whisk for 3 minutes.
- Off heat and pour liquid into serving cups and chill the Roselle Jelly for few hours before serve.
- 洛神花果冻
- 1000毫升 洛神花水
- 1包 果冻粉
- 200克 糖
- 5-6粒 甜酸梅,切半
- 1/2 汤匙 柠檬汁 （可不加）
- 将洛神花水倒入锅内。
- 果冻粉和糖搅拌均匀后，倒入洛神花水里。
- 用中火将洛神花水，果冻糖粉和甜酸梅混合均匀，边煮边搅拌至滚约3分钟。
- 熄火倒入杯子中放凉，收进冰箱冷藏数小时便可享用。
Enjoy!

Is it ok to use dry rosella?
Hi Sharon, I'v never seen a dry rosella before. You mean the pickled rosella?
Ann,
I love your roselle jelly.
It is so inviting especially now the weather is so hot! 😀
Ann, I need a cup now, the weather so hot!
haha..i thought you got the jelly powder from Phong Hong (PH)!
Oh…I've seen quite a few treats using the Roselle lately. I don't think I've ever tried it before. Your dessert is lovely and so pretty. Love that vibrant red color. Which I can get a hold on some Roselle so I can try your dessert.
That looks like a beautiful dessert. I don't think I've ever tried Roselle and now you have made me curious. I'll keep a lookout for it 🙂
Biren, I think you can buy the roselle online but quite expensive.
We just bought two roselle plants, will have to try some of your recipes when the roselle calyx can be plucked.
Hope to see your post soon 🙂
热死了这里,我要这个!!!
真是太热,感觉要爆炸!!快点来吃吧。
炎热的天气,这个是最好的了。 我也采了很多的洛神花,刚煮了一煲的洛神花水,还剩的也要做jelly了!
是你家种的吗?我把剩下的种子丢在后院里,希望会种出洛神花。。。
Isn't that interesting. I've never made anything like this but I'm dying to taste the flavour.
这个真的好美味,我一直在kap菜市有没有她的踪影,但每次都是落空的,今天真好,ann家有得吃,我要两杯哦!
来来来。。。先请你吃几杯再去慢慢找。
Roselle definitely don't taste like Ribena. I used to have many Roselle plants till they died on me when I became immobile. Seeing your jelly is making me missing my plants. 🙁
It is easy to grow Roselle? I just stuffed the roselle seeds in the pot. Hopefully they'll grow soon.
I loves this type of dessert in this kind of hot weather nowadays! I seen roselle selling in the wet market here but have never bought this to make any juice or dessert before.
Mel, can make the roselle into jam too and the price is quite cheap.
Even here is turning cold, but I'm still delight to see this roselle jelly in the morning, one bowl for me please :p
Tze, I'll definitely make this jelly again when you're back in S'pore.
这个很有营养。这样的天气,我要两三杯都无所谓。哈哈~
我还是头一次做。还不错尤其在那么热的天气,冰冰凉凉的,还蛮舒服的。
Love this refreshing jelly! Its been so hot these days, need one of these to cool down. Fortunately my kids love Roselle so I don't need to use the plum to hide the taste.
Yes the weather is super hot these day! I need to boil more roselle tea, with or without plum is OK to me.
Ann, I love the deep red colour of your jelly. It must be so refreshing to have jelly in this terribly hot weather!
Phong Hong, I wanted to SCREAM! Hope it'll rain soon.
I've yet to feel the taste of Roselle …. drooling over your pics…slurp!
颜色艳丽,有点酸甜的jelly,很合我意。这里天气也是闷热得很,我也要杯
Looks wonderful! The color is great, I am sure the taste too!
Awesome presentation…the spoons look super cute
Roselle is a very versatile, can be made into a lot of things..Making into jelly, sound so refreshing too.
我也要试试看,看了就很清凉 🙂
Ribena taste good if it's really cold 😀 What about adding lemon or lime the next time ? Love the vivid color and it looks so refreshing !
Anne, I think can add some lemon or lime. Is the end result whether you like it or not.
Ann, these roselle jellies look so yummy there! I want 2 cups please, hehe! I still can't find roselle here & now is very curious how it tastes like! So far only managed to see the jam once but not very attracted to me, I prefer eating jelly!
最近天气那么热,做这个最赞了。。我还不曾做过,找天一定要做。。:)
