1 stick agar*
1 cup water
1 3/4 cups half and half -- 50% water/cream
1 tsp almond extract
1/4 tsp vanilla
11 oz mandarin oranges -- can (optional)

Soak the agar-agar in the water in a pot for 30

featherweight rectangular sticks in Chinese markets.
It functions like gelatin, albeit with somewhat more
flavor interest.
