Notes
Gelatin can be tricky to work with when used in a recipe. The secret is to ‘slowly ‘sprinkle the Gelatin on top of the liquid. If you see it clumping up, you are sprinkling too quickly. If you have some dry patches, don’t worry; ensure your water is boiling before adding it to the gelatin mixture and stir until the clumps are dissolved.
If you want a darker color, add a tablespoon of hot water and 1/4 teaspoon of gel food color to a small bowl and stir until combined. Then, add the food color mixture to your gelatin mixture and mix well.
