Ginger Jelly
Ingredients
• 1 tea bag Dilmah Pure Green Tea
• 1 bag Dilmah Camomile Flowers
• 160ml pickled Ginger liquid (drain liquid from two 100g packets of Japanese pickled ginger)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger juice (from grated ginger)
• 1½ tablespoons Rice Vinegar
• 3 titanium-strength Gelatine leaves
Method of Preparation
For the jelly, infuse 160ml warm water with the tea bags for 10 minutes. Soak the gelatine in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes to soften. Gently squeeze gelatine to remove excess liquid. In a small saucepan, heat remaining ingredients over low heat to combine flavours. Stir through gelatine until dissolved. Strain through muslin cloth or very fine sieve and set in a tray. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
