- ASMR Cooking version of this video with longer, in depth scenes - no music, no speaking, just real cooking sounds.
I love how pretty these are; they look like rock crystals and geodes but these candies have a soft gummy centre whilst featuring a crunchy sugary exterior.
The crisp shell is matte and opaque which again is in contrast to the inside which is shiny, lustrous, and translucently gem-like!
This gummy confection is made in many parts of Asia with numerous names including: kering, crystal candy, kanom woon grop/ kanom woon krob, kohakutou, agar/ kanten/ amber candy, and rock jelly.
It is sooo simple to make, you can whip up a batch to put in jars as gifts to friends, as favours or bombonieres, or box them up and mail them to loved ones because these lollies can last for a VERY long time (if you allow them to!)

Lychee Kohakutou Edible Geodes Recipe
Ingredients:
• 120g Lychee juice // ½ cup (or Lychee flavoured drink)
• 4g Agar powder // 2 tsp
• 200g Sugar // 1 cup
• 1g Citric acid // ¼ tsp (for not-too-sweet option)
• Food coloring (optional)
Essential equipment:
• Small pot and spatula
• Heat-proof bowl or pan to use as a mold
_____________________________________________________
Tips
• The citric acid is essential to help this candy taste less sweet, but you can leave it out if you really want to. For this to work, it is important to ONLY add it after the cooking process is finished
• Dry them in room temperature, you can leave them on the countertop (with or without a cover)
• Once done store these candies in sealed containers - they can keep for a very long time unrefrigerated!
• Other juices may be used but try and stick to ones that aren’t too acidic otherwise it may interfere with the setting process

The gummy look so yummy. And your jars look amazing filled with al the candies! I can’t even imagine how your pantry looks like. Candies here, candies there, some cake somewhere 😅☺️ and your camera skills are spot on👍🏻
This is so interesting. I would never think to make homemade “rock candy” like this. Looks delicious.
This isn’t “rock candy”. This is kohakutou
In sri lanka we have a similar snack , called „Žukkurai“
I love how you made this video, it's so unique and different to the usual stuff! great work!
this video was so ahead of the curve it's insane
Wow this looks so yum!!! We had lychee all the time when travelling in Thailand and we miss it soo much!!! Perfect for a sweet treat and zero packaging! Great video thanks for sharing! New subscriber 🥰💚
The aesthetic of it all. This looks beautiful
Can I substitute the lychee juice for water and add flavor extracts instead? Would that effect the end texture at all?
wow this was so cool to watch!! They look like little rose quartz crystals!
Thank you Saska!!! 🌸💕
I have never made this candy, but I really want to. I love this clean, well done video.
Well I've definitely not seen anything like this before. Your camera skills are amazing, very pleasant to watch, I felt as if I was doing it myself with the camera angles you used 🤣
Cutting part is best to watch so satisfy
This looks so good, I’m making this today and I’m so excited!!!
A quick question, if my fruit juice already contains citric acid, should i skip the additional citric acid after the cooking process? cuz I tried making a batch, and it didn’t solidify.😊
Hello! It seems like the juice you used may have been too acidic to start so it wouldn't solidify :(
Wow that was really therapeutic to watch as well 😂 great camera too.
This is amazing to watch!! also wanted to ask, what brand of lychee juice did you use?
Hello! Thank you for your compliment - I used a juice with the brand named “Kushi”
That's pretty cool. I've never seen this done before. Looks amazing!😍
These look so beautiful. Love the color and the flavor. I'm a huge lychee fan 😊
I tried making my own today but I have just taken them apart to make the crystals and they’re melting. I think I may have used too much liquid and not boiled them long enough? What could have gone wrong?
This looks amazing, will definitely try, amazing video! 🥰
I NEED IT ITS CRYSTAL GUMMY LYCHEE FLAVOUR 2 OF MY FAV THINGSS
I tried to make kohakutou today, it’s been sitting in the fridge for about 3 hours but it’s staying like a thick syrup rather than jelly. I think I might have heated it for too long is there a way I can save it?
Could I just remelt it on a stove and add more water?
Is it normal for the mixture to bubble while its cooking?
Do i have to use juice can i use water then flavering and also do i have to add crtirc acid?
looks amazingggg
Did you use pink or red food colouring for these?
Just pink !
Can you substitute agar-agar with gelatine?
I tried making with a jelly mixture i add it to water heated it and added sugar and then kept it for drying but ita rainy season and the jelly instead of drying is releasing water😢
Y si uso gelatina animal en lugar de agar agar? No funciona?
No, solo agar agar.
You are an amazing cook, I love these different ideas of making things 💚✌️
Awww thank you so much for saying so 🥺🥺
@@CheerSeeds really you should have a cook book or a restaurant or both
Im getting hungryy
would lychee flavored calpico work as the lychee flavored drink? and is citric acid optional or necessary?
Hello! I don’t think it will work because it has acid in the ingredients and this needs to be added after the cooking process is completed - otherwise it will not set up properly. You can use a different drink or beverage with low acid content. As for the citric acid to be added, you can omit this if you like but the result will be a lot sweeter. Good luck!!
@@CheerSeeds what about lychee juice from a can, i tried it but when i took it out of the fridge it was too sticky
So beautiful!!! I enjoyed it ❤️
Awww thank you kindly 😍😍
Yummy
These look so Rose quarts so much, how long do they to harden?
♥️♥️
2-3 days
Is it okif I don’t put acids
Would cherry juice work for this recipe? Just a question 😅
Hello! It really depends on the juice itself, if it's too acidic it won't set properly, you may need to dilute it and add sugar
@@CheerSeeds Thank you!!😁
Would it be too soft to use gelatin instead of agar agar?
Yea I think so. I've been watching a lot of videos on konakuto recently, the agar gives it the unique texture and helps with the process of the sugar hardening.
@@mxuselian okay so I tried with gelatin and definitely do not recommend, it does not hold its shape. It does work actually you just have to wait very long much more than agar agar.
I tried this, but it came out more like a toffee. After it’d set in the fridge, it wouldn’t come out of the container, it was really sticky and chewy, definitely not the same texture as yours. What did I do wrong? I used the right amounts/ingredients, but looking at other recipes, should there be more liquid maybe? It tastes good, but not much to look at, when I tried pulling apart (like toffee basically), they just looked like melted blobs and if not far enough apart from each other would melt into each other. Any advice for my next attempt would be appreciated.🙏
Hello! It seems to me you may have mixed in the citric acid too early because this can break down the sugars and prevent it from setting properly, try to add it after it has cooled down significantly but is still liquidy and hasn’t set. Also make sure the juice you doesn’t already have too much acid in it. Hope your next try turns out lots better! Good luck!!!
2:34 I dont have citric acid. What can I use instead of citric acid?
You don't have to add citric acid, its just added to make it a little less sweet.
@@mxuselian ouh thanks 4 information
Would the syrup from canned lychees work for this recipe?
Oooh good question! I’ll have to test that out if I have the time
What is the citric acid for?
I love the colour of these and love how they crisped up and got hard. Also that it's all vegan!! Insane! So pretty though :) Plus I love Lychee flavour.
I'm a new sub, i luv this so much and ur so talented :ooooo lol gonna try to make this but im not a huge fan of lychee :( could I use citric juice instead and not add citric acid?
Hello!! Yes you can use lemon juice instead of citric acid, what are you planning to replace the lychee juice with?
Can you make them without sugar? Or they wouldn't come out?
No they really do need the sugar for this to work
Such a beautiful gem candy 🤩😋
Hello ! I tried to make mine at home and they dried like in 2 days or 3 . BUT then I stored them in a container . . for a month and it started developing mold x') can anyone explain me why ? And how long / how am I supposed to store it?
Hi!! To be honest I’ve stored mine for over a month and it didn’t mold so I’m not exactly sure why it happened with yours.. what does it look like? If it’s white and firm it should just be crystals forming and not actually mold
@@CheerSeedsthere's actually some white hard dots forming , but it smells like mold too . maybe I didn't let 'em dry long enough.
Can I make this without citric acid? What is its use?
makes it sour
Very nice.
Thanks so much for your comment 🥰💕🌸
Hi I can’t wait to make these...Can you use lemon juice instead of citric acid?
Yes you can! Don’t add too much or too soon though, as it may not set up properly. Good luck!!
@@CheerSeeds thanks! Just got all the ingredients. Heard acidic juice disrupts agar’s hardening process. I’ll see how it goes :)
Does anyone know what will happen if we didnt put in citric acid
Nothing bad will happen. It’s an option. It’s to make the flavor more tart.
Can I make them with gelatine not agar agar?
No has to be Agar
******* What brand of Agar do you use? *******
I use the Thai golden cup brand
Can u add fruit juice as flavouring ?
Yes, make sure they aren’t too acidic though!!
Why the citric acid?
Probably they wanted it sour
Can you cover the jelly crystals or do they have to stay open like that? My worry is the flies or ants invading them 🥲
yeah i’m worried about that too! i cant find anything on whether u should cover it up or not
Hello! You can put them in a container with a lid, make sure there is enough space in between them, also it may take a bit longer to dry so just try a piece each day and see
And remember to flip them over as well so the bottom gets a chance to dry out
@@CheerSeeds thankyou so much!!! you’re very helpful :)
