Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp agar-agar powder or gelatin powder
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tbsp instant coffee powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract optional
  • Plain cream or milk or whipped cream optional

Instructions
 

  • Combine 1 tablespoon of agar-agar or gelatin powder in a saucepan with 1 1/2 cups water. Stir and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
  • Add 1/2 cup sugar, vanilla extract, and 3 tablespoons instant coffee powder to the boiling mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
  • Turn off the heat, remove it, and let it cool for a few minutes.
  • Pour the coffee mixture into a square or rectangular mold. Allow it to cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the jelly is fully set.
  • Once the coffee jelly is set, carefully remove it from the mold and place it on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cut the jelly into small cubes of your desired size.
  • Serve the coffee jelly cubes with plain cream or milk. Top with whipped cream if desired.
