Ingredients
Lemon grass stems
1 individual, cut into short lengths
Water
200 ml
Gelatine
30 g, approx. 1½ tbsp
Lime
2 medium, 6 tbsp juice, and finely grated rind from both
Artificial sweetener
2 tablespoon(s)
Diet Lemonade
450 ml, or diet ginger ale
Lime
1 medium, sliced, to decorate
Kiwi Fruit
1 medium, sliced, to decorate
Instructions
1
Bash the pieces of lemongrass with a rolling pin to bruise them, then add then to the saucepan with the water. Heat and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the water has reduced slightly.
2
Strain the very hot lemongrass flavoured water into a large jug and sprinkle in the powdered gelatine. Stir, then allow to dissolve. (This will take about 3-4 minutes).
3
Stir the grated lime rind and juice into the gelatine liquid with the powdered sweetener. Add the lemonade or ginger ale. Pour into 4 glasses, then transfer to the fridge to set and chill. This will take about 2 hours.
4
Serve the jellies, decorated with lime and kiwi slices. For Christmas or New Year, decorate the jellies with exotic fruit, such as slices of carambola (star fruit) or physalis.
