Ingredients

• 120 ml Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 100 g Granulated sugar
• 250 ml Water
• 2.5 tbsp Gelatin powder
• 60 ml White rum
• 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
• 1 whole lime Lime zest
• 100 ml Optional: Soda water

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the lime juice, granulated sugar, and water. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is fully dissolved.

Step 2

Add the fresh mint leaves and lime zest to the mixture. Reduce the heat to low and let it steep for 5 minutes to infuse the mint flavor. Remove from heat and strain the mixture into a clean bowl to remove the mint leaves and zest. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a small bowl, bloom the gelatin by sprinkling it over 50 ml of cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the gelatin has absorbed the liquid and softened.

Step 4

Gently heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave or over a double boiler until it becomes liquid and fully dissolves (do not boil). Stir the dissolved gelatin into the cooled lime mixture until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Once combined, add the white rum and optional soda water if you prefer a lighter, fizzy texture. Stir well.

Step 6

Pour the jelly mixture evenly into individual serving glasses or molds. Let them cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Step 7

Serve the Mojito Jelly chilled. Garnish with extra mint leaves and a lime wedge, if desired.
