Ingredients

• 240 ml Fresh lemon juice
• 240 ml Water
• 200 g Granulated sugar
• 15 g Gelatin powder
• 60 ml Cold water
• 1 tbsp Lemon zest
• 1 pinch Pinch of salt

Directions

Step 1

Begin by placing the gelatin powder in a small bowl. Add the cold water over the gelatin and let it bloom for about 5 minutes. The gelatin will absorb the water and become thick.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the fresh lemon juice, water, and granulated sugar. Stir well to combine.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and add the lemon zest and a pinch of salt. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is heated through, but not boiling, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the mixture from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin until it is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then pour it through a fine sieve into a heat-resistant measuring cup or mixing bowl to remove the zest and any undissolved gelatin bits.

Step 6

Divide the liquid evenly among six serving glasses or molds.

Step 7

Refrigerate the glasses or molds for at least 4 hours, or until the jelly is fully set.

Step 8

Once set, serve the lemon jelly directly in the glasses or unmold onto plates as desired. The light, tangy flavor is perfect on its own or served with a dollop of whipped cream.
