Ingredients

Pomegranate Layer

• 2/3 cup freshly squeezed pomegranate juice from seeds
• 2/3 cup water
• 1/2 tsp agar agar powder

Coconut Layer

• 2/3 cup coconut milk
• 1 tsp maple syrup
• 2/3 cup water
• 1/2 tsp agar agar powder

Optional

Instructions

• In a small pot, whisk together pomegranate juice, water and agar agar powder. Bring to a boil while whisking, remove off heat. Pour a layer into your small glass using a funnel and place into the freezer to set. Keep your pomegranate liquid on low heat to keep it from solidifying. You may need to stir in a splash of water if it becomes too thick.
• In another small pot, whisk together coconut milk, maple syrup, water and agar agar powder. Bring a boil while whisking, remove off heat.
• Remove your glass from the freezer and check to see if pomegranate layer is firm to touch without any breakage. Then pour coconut liquid through a clean funnel to create second layer.
• Keep repeating this process until you’ve filled both glasses
• Top off with fresh pomegranate seeds and mint
• If you’re in a hurry for time, avoid multiple layers and pour in all of your pomegranate jelly liquid first. Allow it to set in the freezer. Then pour in your coconut jelly layer after.
