Peppermint Jelly
I have quite a few varieties of mint (pudina) with different flavors and aroma in our garden. I decided to use peppermint for making the green jelly. It has incredible health benefits—relieves migraine, indigestion, bloating, anxiety, good for weight loss, confers immunity which we all need very badly with the outbreak of corona virus. Collected the leaves, washed, blanched, blended with two cups of water and a tbsp of agave nectar. Strained the liquid through a wire mesh basket, chilled in ice water bath. Dissolved gelatin in 2 c of boiling water, added the liquid with mint extract, mixed together, poured in four different containers and chilled for 4 hours in the refrigerator. The prep time is less than 30 minutes, but the resting time is nearly four hours—chilling in the refrigerator. Beautiful delicious mint jelly is the reward. #rainbowweek6
