Lo Hong Ka's Thoughtful Tips
As gelatin is not heat-resistant, it is recommended to let the osmanthus liquid cool slightly before adding it, then mix it gently with the liquid over low heat.
During refrigeration, while the osmanthus cake is in a semi-solid state, you can gently stir it to prevent the ingredients from settling to the bottom.
Precise measurements of ingredients are essential, otherwise, the taste and setting consistency may be affected.
