Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Tang breakfast drink powder
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 packets Unflavored gelatin
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Cold water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the Tang breakfast drink powder, granulated sugar, and 4 cups of water.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar and Tang powder are fully dissolved. Do not let it boil.
In a separate bowl, sprinkle the packets of unflavored gelatin over 1 cup of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Once the gelatin has bloomed, add the gelatin mixture to the warm Tang mixture in the saucepan. Stir well until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Carefully pour the mixture into a 9x13-inch glass dish or individual serving cups, depending on your preference.
Cover the dish or cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the jelly is fully set.
Once set, cut the jelly into squares if using a dish, or serve directly from the individual cups. Enjoy!
