Equipment
- Sauce pan
- Heat proof spatula
- Glasses
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Water
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 3 tsp Gelatin powder
- 1 cup + 2 tsp Rooibos Orange Tea
- 2 tbsp Orange juice
Garnish
- 1/2 cup Whipped cream
- Orange zest
- Orange segments
Instructions
- Bloom gelatin in 1 tbsp water and set aside until swelled up. This should take 5 mins.
- In a sauce pan on medium heat add the water and honey, let it simmer and then add the bloomed gelatin. Stir until totally dissolved. Reduce heat to low.
- Add the tea and orange juice. Stir well and take off the heat. Let it cool for a few minutes before pouring into your heat proof glasses/bowls.
- Place in the fridge and let it set for 1 hour minimum until set. When you shake it, the jelly must have a wobble and bounce.
- Serve with whipped cream, orange zest and fresh orange segments.
Notes
- Do not boil the gelatin or else the jelly won’t set.
- If your gelatin has not bloomed it is either expired or you need to let it sit a little longer.
- The amount of time needed to set the jelly might depend on your location as well, when I make this in winter it sets in 30 mins however in the scorching heat of summer it can even take up to 2 hours. This is also cause my fridge is always full in the summer.
- You can make this the night before and let it chill over night in the fridge.
