Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 30 g Honey
  • 100 g Water
  • 10 g Gelatin

Spice and Sauces

  • Lemon Juice (to taste)

Preparation Time

Total Time: 25 minutes

  • Preparation Time: 5 minutes
  • Chilling Time: 20 minutes

Step-by-Step Instruction

  1. Melt the Honey: Start by melting the honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the water and stir continuously until well combined.
  2. Heat and Dissolve: Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture just to a gentle boil. Make sure that the honey fully dissolves in the water.
  3. Prepare Gelatin: While the honey mixture is heating, let the gelatin bloom. Combine the gelatin with a small amount of water in a separate bowl and let it sit for a few minutes until it absorbs the water.
  4. Incorporate Gelatin: Once the honey mixture is ready, remove it from the heat. Stir in the bloomed gelatin until it has fully dissolved without any clumps.
  5. Add Lemon Flavor: To balance the sweetness, add a small amount of lemon juice to the mixture. This should be done according to your preference for tartness.
  6. Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the honey mixture into your preferred molds or containers. Leave some space at the top since the jelly will expand slightly.
  7. Chill in the Fridge: Transfer the molds to the refrigerator and allow them to set for at least 20 minutes. This duration may vary depending on your fridge's cooling efficiency.
  8. Check for Setting: After chilling, the jelly should be firm to the touch and jiggly.
  9. Serve Chilled: Once fully set, remove the jellies from the molds onto serving plates.
  10. Garnish if Desired: For enhanced presentation and flavor, consider garnishing with mint leaves or a thin slice of lemon.

Tips

  • Adjust Sweetness: If the jelly turns out too sweet, incorporate additional lemon juice or a pinch of citric acid.
  • Gelatin Type: For a vegetarian version, substitute gelatin with agar-agar following its instructions.
  • Adding Fruits: Fresh berries or slices of fruit can be added just before setting to add texture and flavor.
