In a saucepan, combine water, granulated sugar, honey, and dried osmanthus flowers. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
~10 min - 2
Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean saucepan, discarding the osmanthus flowers. Return the infused liquid to low heat.
~2 min - 3
Whisk in the agar-agar powder and corn syrup. Continue to whisk constantly over low heat until the agar-agar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
~7 min - 4
Pour the hot liquid into a heatproof container or mold. Allow it to cool slightly at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before refrigerating.
~25 min - 5
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the jelly is firm and set.
~30 min - 6
Once set, invert the container onto a cutting board. Slice the jelly into desired shapes, such as cubes or strips, using a sharp knife.
~5 min
Tips
- For a stronger osmanthus flavor, steep the dried flowers in the hot liquid for a longer period (up to 15 minutes) before straining.
- Serve chilled, perhaps with a drizzle of extra honey or a sprinkle of fresh osmanthus if available.
