Ingredients
- 2 g Agar, dried
- 200 g Water

Method
- Aiyu jelly is traditionally set by massaging fig seeds in water until they release a natural pectin; this version uses agar as a stand-in gelling agent.
- Dissolve the agar in the water, bring to a boil, stirring, and simmer 2 minutes.
- Pour into a shallow dish and chill for at least 2 hours until firmly set, then dice into small cubes.
- Stir the sugar and honey into a little warm water to make a light syrup, then stir in the lime juice once cool.
- Spoon the jelly cubes into a glass, pour over the honey-lime syrup, and add ice to serve cold.
