Instructions

1. 1. Soak the agar-agar strands in a bowl of warm water for 10 minutes to soften them.

6. 6. Pour the mixture into small dessert molds or a shallow dish. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until fully set.
7. 7. Once set, gently remove the dessert from the molds or slice it into desired shapes if using a shallow dish.
8. 8. Garnish with edible rose petals, chopped pistachios, and saffron strands, if desired, before serving chilled.
