Apple Cider – Hot and Cold

Instructions

Dissolve the agar in a little bit of cider for a few minutes.

Add the rest of the ingredients, except for the cinnamon sugar.

Boil it - a high temperature is necessary for the gelling process.

Once it is done boiling, set it aside; it will become a firm gel, usually within a few minutes.

Please wait until it cools down and put it in the fridge, as we need part of the drink to be cold.

When it is ready, take some of it and heat it. It takes me around 20 seconds to get the right temperature and texture in my microwave.

Take the same amount of agar gel from the fridge and whisk it or blend it to become a fluid gel.

Use a small shooter type of glass for the drink.

Insert a divider in the middle of the glass and slowly pour the hot and cold mixture on each side.

After carefully removing the divider, the gel part of the drink will hold the warm part.

Sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top.

Timing is essential as the hot agar base will slowly jellify in 10-15 min.
