What each ingredient does
- Leaf gelatine
- Sets the liquid into a firm, wobbly jelly as it cools.
- Cold water
- Hydrates the gelatine so it swells and dissolves evenly.
The step that matters
Dissolving the gelatine over boiling water. Gelatine dissolves fully when heated gently in a bowl above boiling water. Overheating or letting it boil can weaken its setting power, so the jelly may not firm properly.
