Jasmine Tea Jelly

Ingredients

1 tablespoon gelatin

2 tablespoons water

3 cups brewed Jasmine tea still hot

1/2 teaspoon liquid sweetener

1 tablespoon Splenda

4 teaspoons lemon juice

Preparation

In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the 2 tablespoons water. Let stand until softened.

Microwave the gelatin in 30-second increments until liquid. Stir into the tea along with the sweetener, Splenda and lemon juice.

Pour into 6 small dessert dishes or teacups and let set in the fridge for at least 4 hours.

This recipe yields 6 servings.

Comments: This jelly is softly set and silky. I really enjoy the balance of the slightly bitter tea, lemon, and sweet flavors, which makes it more of a palate refresher than a sweet. Serve it after a meal with oriental flavors. It looks very good served in a small teacup. Jasmine green tea is especially lovely in this dessert.
