Step 3Gel Preparation
Measure out some liquid, and heat it to boiling in the microwave.
While that's heating, measure out your gelling agent (agar or gelatin).
For 1000 milliliters (1 liter, ~4 1/4 cups) of liquid, you need between 3/4 and 1 3/4 grams of agar - OR - 5 grams of gelatin.
The agar I bought was in 10 inch sticks which weighed about 10 grams, so I just sawed off half an inch.
Once the liquid is boiling, put the gelling agent into the liquid and let it sit for a few minutes to hydrate. Bring the liquid to a boil in the microwave again, stirring occasionally until the gelling agent is completely dissolved.
Let the liquid cool to room temperature.
