Ingredients
- 150 ml Fresh lime juice
- 200 g Granulated sugar
- 6 sheets Gelatin sheets
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 250 ml Water
- 50 ml White rum
- 1 whole lime Lime zest
Directions
Step 1
Juice the limes to yield 150 ml of fresh lime juice. Zest one lime and set the zest aside.
Step 2
Soak the gelatin sheets in a bowl of cold water for about 5 minutes, or until softened.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, sugar, and fresh mint leaves. Heat gently over low heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mint infuses into the mixture. Do not let it boil.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the liquid to remove the mint leaves.
Step 5
Squeeze excess water from the soaked gelatin sheets and add them to the warm mint-infused syrup. Stir until the gelatin dissolves completely.
Step 6
Add the lime juice, lime zest, and white rum to the mixture, stirring gently to combine all ingredients.
Step 7
Pour the jelly mixture into serving glasses or molds. Let them cool to room temperature before transferring to the refrigerator.
Step 8
Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or until the jelly has fully set.
Step 9
Serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with additional mint leaves and lime slices for presentation.
