How to Make It
[Step 1]: Peel the kiwi, cut it into 5mm-thick slices, and arrange them evenly in a small glass.
[Step 2]: Place the gelatin and hot water in a heat-resistant bowl, and stir thoroughly with a spoon until all lumps are gone and the gelatin is completely dissolved.
[Step 3]: Add about 50 ml of soda to the melted gelatin mixture, stir gently, and pour it into a glass. Then, carefully pour in the remaining soda.
[Step 4]: Place the glass in the refrigerator and let it chill and set for about 3 hours, and it’s done.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
The most common mistake is that “the gelatin doesn’t set and remains liquid.” This is caused by the gelatin not being dissolved thoroughly. To prevent this, be sure to use hot water at 80 degrees or higher, and stir thoroughly with a spoon all the way to the bottom. Be careful, as any remaining gelatin granules will result in a weaker set.
A Quick Tip for Making It Taste Great
To keep the bubbles in the cider from escaping, the key to a beautiful finish is to pour slowly and gently, without stirring it vigorously.
In Closing
If you break up the finished jelly with a spoon right before eating it, it’ll look even more sparkly and adorable! Top it with a little vanilla ice cream to turn it into a slightly indulgent float-style treat. At the end of a hard day, treat yourself to this refreshing jelly as a little reward.
