A discussion of recent search trends

Looking at trends on May 20, while interest in hot young talents such as “Natsuki Deguchi” and “Sakizuki Sugawara” increased, words directly related to the economy and daily life such as “Nikkei 225,” “deductions,” and “Rakuten Group” were at the top, indicating that public interest is turning to both entertainment and practical benefits. The emergence of the term “full-time housewife” may also be an indication of a need for richer and more efficient ways to spend time at home. In the mild season of early summer, “homemade sweets that look good” that are both budget-friendly and exciting seem to be the most suitable proposal for the current trend.

way of making

Process 1: Gelatin Preparation: First, fill a small bowl with 75 ml of water and slowly shake the powdered gelatin into it. Do not be in a hurry to stir. Watch for 5 minutes as the gelatin absorbs the water by itself and becomes plump and fluffy. …… Such careful time is one of the best parts of homemade.

Process 2: Making the transparent jelly base: Put 400 ml of water and 80 g of sugar into a saucepan and heat over medium heat until just before boiling. Turn off the heat, add the gelatin from earlier, and mix with a whisk for 2 minutes until slowly dissolved. Finally, add lemon juice of your choice to accentuate the crisp acidity.

Process 3: The Science of Cooling] Place the bottom of the bowl over ice water to cool the jelly liquid. Stir slowly with a rubber spatula and wait until it thickens slightly. This “thickening” is the important trick that keeps the later layers beautiful.

[Process 4: Begin Layering] In your favorite glass, first fill it 1/3 full of the jelly liquid and gently place the cut fruit. Place in the refrigerator and chill gently for 10 minutes to firm up. During this waiting time, it is nice to choose a tea to go with today’s snack.

[Process 5: Producing the milk layer] Add 100 ml of milk to the remaining jelly liquid to make a fluffy white liquid. Slowly pour it over the clear jelly that has just been hardened, letting it run down the back of a spoon. Refrigerate again for 30 minutes to complete the jelly with contrasting layers!

This is the secret to the delicious taste! Key Points

The most important feature is the control of temperature and thickening. Pouring the jelly liquid while it is hot will melt the bottom layer and mix the colors. The key to success is to make the consistency sticky until it feels slightly cooler than human skin when touched with a finger before pouring. Simply following this scientific step will result in an amazingly beautiful layer.

Examples of mistakes we tend to make

The most common mistakes are rushing and mixing the layers too quickly and gelatin lumps. If you pour too quickly, the bottom and top layers will mix without boundaries, resulting in a cloudy appearance instead of a beautiful gradation.

Also, once gelatin lumps form, it is difficult to dissolve, so waiting rather than rushing through the initial “fluffing” stage is an important step in achieving a smooth mouthfeel.

At the end.

The transparency of the finished jelly is just like the early summer sun. Store in the refrigerator and serve within the next day. The arrangements are endless: garnish with mint to taste, or add a little soda water for an extra shwashy sensation. May this day be a colorful one in everyone’s life.
