Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams Fresh ginger
- 500 ml Water
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 10 grams Gelatin powder
- 500 grams Plain Greek yogurt
- 50 grams Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the fresh ginger into small pieces.
In a small saucepan, add the ginger slices and water. Bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 5 minutes to infuse the ginger flavor into the water.
Strain the ginger water into a mixing bowl and discard the ginger slices.
Stir in the granulated sugar until fully dissolved.
Sprinkle the gelatin powder over the warm ginger-sugar mixture and stir thoroughly to dissolve. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Pour the ginger jelly mixture into a shallow dish or mold. Allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
To assemble, scoop some Greek yogurt into serving bowls or glasses. Cut the chilled ginger jelly into small cubes and gently place them on top of the yogurt.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired, and serve immediately.
