Recipe #346: Coffee Jelly!!

This is such a happy day! I have finally discovered (thanks to my mom!) a way to make coffee jelly (jello) in America!  When Will and I were in Japan several summers ago, I discovered the glorious taste of coffee jelly. My dad bought tons of it because I probably had one everyday!

Starbucks over there even had a frap with it mixed in! (AMAZING)

My mom found a recipe here and it was SO easy! You should go make some today! :)

You need:

2 cups brewed coffee

2 Tbsp sugar (more or less depending on how sweet you want it, 2 Tbsp was not very sweet, just enough!)

1 Tbsp gelatin (that is one packet in the Knox box)

4 Tbsp water

half and half (or whipped cream)

• mix the coffee and sugar in a sauce pan over medium heat. 
• turn off heat just before it boils
• add 4 Tbsp water and gelatin, mix until gelatin has dissolved.
• add gelatin mixture to coffee and stir until dissolved.
• allow it to cool and then poor into little single serve dishes.
• allow to cool in fridge for several hours 
• pour a little half and half on top then enjoy! (In Japan it comes with single serving cups of cream! :) )
