Steps:

• Bring the water with the agar agar to a boil. As soon as it's boiling, lower the heat to a minimum. Now stir in the sugar and cook the mixture for another 2 minutes on low heat. As soon as the sugar has dissolved, take the pot off the stove and let it cool for about 2 minutes. Now we make this dish look pretty: pour the liquid into a suitable and beautiful little bowl (silicon, plastic or glass). Following that put the strawberry halves into the liquid and put the moulds into the fridge. The kanten needs to cool for about 12 hours in the fridge. For serving shake the jelly out of the moulds onto a plate.
