Trifloral Jelly - Osmanthus with Wolfberries

It is always a hit at every gathering or pot luck that I always prepare the Osmanthus Jelly to bring along. At the same time, I also love to drink Trifloral Osmanthus flavor as it gives a very nice fragrance and best of all, it has very high antioxidants which can relieve stress, headache, aid weight management and especially good for sore throat (and I have to give a high five for this as I personally experience this when I was preparing for my children workshop in April'15 at CoolDeSac and I was down with a really bad cough and on the verge of losing my voice. I drank 2 tea bags the day before and another on the next morning prior to the workshop. Luckily I was able to talk non-stop for almost half a day without much hiccups. So trust me, this is really good !!)


This round we have a gathering at my house, I decided to try to add in the tea to give a more aromatic Osmanthus tea flavor and true enough, the overall experience is really awesome!


Everyone loves the jelly and its also very refreshing & thirst quenching after a very sinful dinner :)


Hope you will also love this jelly as much as I do. Do give me your comments after trying out this recipe.



Closed up view of the jelly. I loved the visual effects of Osmanthus flowers and wolfberries showing in the jelly



 

soak a bag of trifloral to 500ml of water. I only put 1 bag as I'm adding osmanthus flowers so I do not want to overwhelm the taste.

add osmanthus flowers to the trifloral in a pot and bring to a boil, add in Konnyaku jelly powder and stir till dissolved

prepare the soaked wolfberries in the jelly mould

pour the jelly mixture in the jelly mould

I tried a different method by separating the Trifloral from the jelly mixture and only pour in after the mixture is dissolved.  The jelly mixture once off the heat from the stove, gets solidify pretty fast. My verdict is I still prefer the first method I have shared earlier as it's easier to manage.

I loved the QQ texture of Konnyaku jelly over agar agar or the normal jelly

made another batch for my colleagues after my gathering over the weekend. Got a thumbs up from them :)

How I hide 28 types of vegetables in Ms Picky Eater's sushi ball ?

We bought a sushi ball shaker from Daiso some time back and have been toying with the idea of making it together with Sher to increase her exploration of different food and texture.

So finally I bought the necessary ingredients and all ready to make sushi ball !



Drop me a note on how do you make your kids eat more fruits and vegetables?

2016 resolutions

My 2016 resolution started off with getting a new pair of running shoes, attire for the workout (which I have never own a pair for many years because I was never a sporty person to begin with).


Ok, I have to confess I'm not trying to lose weight over here for those of you who know me but rather to build and tone up my muscles. And well, alright hopefully can gain some weight at the same time :)


So I will be doing more on the circuit training rather than high cardio exercise like running on treadmill, cycling etc.


Another goal for myself is to start this 52-week money challenge!
Saw my friend completed this and she reward herself with something at the end of the year which is also like a Christmas gifts too. Sounds so nice isn't it? She's going for it the 2nd or 3rd round this year with increased deposited amount.


I'm gonna start off with the below :) Wish me luck !


1. weekly workout
2. 52 week money challenge
3. cook at least 2-3times a week


Leading towards a Nutritional Immunology Lifestyle.....




a sneak peek at my new running shoes!

Biz Gathering on 26th Oct'15

Having done so many external workshops with schools and corporations, this is probably considered my first sharing for our Business Gathering and also my last talks for 2015. 

Not a simple role as being an Emcee really needs to gel the whole event together and intro with hype to each segments.

Thanks to the team for giving me the opportunity :)
