"I found some really cool rose cooking wine and decided to make a dessert recipe with it. I got my base recipe here. The use of agar agar is something I wouldn't have even known about without seeing this site. http://www.kh-foods.com.tw/pro_recipes2.htm There is also some great information about it here http://www.wikihow.com/Use-Agar-Agar"
