I recently discovered a product called Queen’s ‘Jel-it-in Vegetarian Gelling Powder’ at a Woolworths store. It’s an Agar-base gelling powder and it is easy to use. Sometimes I prefer to use Agar or Kanten rather than Gelatine. For this orange juice jelly, definitely Agar is the best option. And Queen’s ‘Jel-it-in’ dissolves very well. I will be using this product for rest of my life.

1 sachet (8g) Queen’s ‘Jel-It-In Vegetarian Gelling Powder’ *OR 4g (1 & 1/4 teaspoons) Agar Agar Powder
