Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Soft drink (any flavor, preferably carbonated)
- 15 g Gelatin powder
- 50 ml Water
- 30 g Sugar (optional; adjust based on the sweetness of the drink)
Instructions
Pour 50 ml of water into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin powder over the surface. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
While the gelatin is blooming, pour 500 ml of your chosen soft drink into a small saucepan. If the drink is heavily carbonated, let it sit uncovered for a few minutes to reduce some of the bubbles.
Add the sugar to the saucepan if you prefer a sweeter jelly. Stir gently to dissolve.
Place the saucepan over low heat and warm the soft drink gently. Do not allow it to boil, as this will remove the carbonation and alter the flavor.
Add the bloomed gelatin to the saucepan and whisk constantly until the gelatin is fully dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for 5-10 minutes.
Pour the liquid into molds, bowls, or a shallow dish, depending on your preference.
Transfer the molds to the refrigerator and chill for 4-6 hours, or until the jelly is fully set.
Once set, unmold the jelly by running a thin knife around the edges or dipping the mold in warm water for a few seconds before inverting.
Serve cold and enjoy this bubbly, wobbly treat!
