Rose Berry Agar-agar with colors perfect for all your patriotic themed holiday get-together. These rose flavored agar-agar are light, mildly sweet, and refreshing.
Summer came just in time for the 4th of July holiday. We are getting a stretch of sunny days this weekend and everyone is out and about. There is laughter in the air and aroma of barbecue in the neighborhood. These are the summer days we have been waiting for all year.
To counterpoint the grilled meats, I made some Rose Berry Agar-agar. The colors of the berries are perfect for the holiday. These are light, mildly sweet, and refreshing. They are great with the lemonade sold by the kids in the neighborhood. 🙂

July 8, 2011 at 10:54 pmNot only would my kiddies live these, but I know I would too. Agar agar is always so much fun to eat, especially when there are little surprises in them. The colours were perfect for the 4th of July.
