You need to soften the agar in cold water and then cook it (simmer) for about 10 minutes for flakes, 5 minutes for powder. The resulting liquid should be clear.

This was awful. I followed the directions exactly and this came out like very sweet, very dense, disgusting jello. I would never make this again.

My marshmallows never set! They just ended up a gooey mess. Maybe my agar-agar was old? Perhaps someone can tell me what went wrong because I was so excited to find this recipe and equally as disappointed when it didn't work out. I feel like I followed the directions very carefully! Help me!

OK... I am not the best cook in the world but I can follow a recipe. It did not work. I tried it 4 different times and it did not work at all. It would not whip up into white fluff. I did it with knox gel to see if you could do it and you could, its just that the veg gel would not whip up into white fluffy stuff. Vegetarians can buy kosher gel from the internet or health food store, but Agar will not work well I could not do it. If someone can make it with agar then let me know. Thanks
