  Prepare the ingredients

  Cut off the ears and both ends of the dragon fruit, then peel the skin, take the flesh, and cut it into small pieces.

  Next, put the dragon fruit into a sieve, and use a spoon to mash the dragon fruit flesh to extract the juice, discarding the pulp and seeds.

  In addition, mix 25gr of jelly powder with 250gr of sugar evenly so that it does not clump when cooking. Then, divide this mixture into 2 equal parts (bowl A, bowl B), and continue to divide one bowl into 2 smaller parts (bowl A1, bowl A2).
