Falooda

• To Make Jelly, take water in a saucepan and turn the heat on medium. Add sugar, agar-agar powder, and rose syrup.
• Mix well and let it simmer for 2 minutes or until everything is dissolved well.
• Transfer this liquid to an 8×8 pan and let it rest for 2 hours at room temperature.
• Once it sets like jelly, cut it into small pieces. Keep it aside or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container to keep it chilled. This makes more amount of jelly than required for 4 servings.
