Ingredients
 

Optional:

  • 4 tbsp Sugar, whiter, finer
  • 2 tbsp Lemon juice, fresh
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 8 g Agar-agar
  • 1 tsp Chicken broth, Kraft bouillon
  • 1 tsp Aji-No-Moto (high purity glutamate)

Instructions
 

  • Line a 26 springform pan with baking paper. For the fresh lime juice, wash a lime and cut off a piece lengthways to the right and left of the stem base. Core the sections and press out by hand. Discard the empty sections and the middle section (contains bitter substances).
  • Mix all ingredients in a 1.5 liter saucepan until the sugar is dissolved. Heat the mixture, stirring constantly, until it boils. Simmer for 1 minute, remove from heat and pour the mixture into the springform pan. First let it cool down to room temperature, then let it mature in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
  • Remove from the mold and cut into appropriately sized cubes. For drinks about 4x4 mm and for food up to 8x8 mm.
  • Use within 3 days. Portion the rest in plastic bags and store frozen.

Note:

  • The amount of agar-agar is measured in such a way that the cubes do not accumulate into a sticky mass when stored.
