Osmanthus-scented Agar-agar

I got a packet of dried Sweet Osmanthus flowers (桂花) from HangZhou, China. This flower is also ‘city flower’ for HangZhou.  I like the fragrant of it very much. It is similar to the scent of ripe peaches. It smells delicious and it makes refreshing dessert.  I think we can easily get the flowers at Chinese medical shops.  Here is how I use it for making agar-agar (jelly) this CNY.
