  2. Mix agar-agar with water: In a pot, combine 2 cups of water with 1 tablespoon of agar-agar. Stir well to avoid clumps.

  5. Transfer to molds: Pour the mixture into molds or a baking dish and allow it to cool at room temperature for around 30 minutes before transferring it to the fridge.
  6. Chill: Let it chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, or until set.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Once firm, unmold the gelatin, cut it into pieces, and enjoy your tasty low-calorie snack!
