Lemon and Honey Jelly Cubes
Makes about 24 large (or 48 small) jelly cubes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 8 Tablespoons honey (or 240g)
- 4 Tablespoons Great Lakes or Bernard Jensen beef gelatin
- 12 caps of Biokult (or any other shelf-stable probiotic powder you are using
Method:
- Squeeze lemon juice and then pour through a strainer into a saucepan.
- Add the honey to the lemon juice. Gradually add the gelatin, whisking as you go to remove lumps.
- Gently warm on the stove until the gelatin is melted (the mixture will become less thick and more runny when this occurs). You do not need to make it hot.
- Allow to cool then whisk in probiotic powder
- Pour into silicon moulds or into a glass dish. Place on a flat surface in the freezer for 20 minutes or in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
- Pop the jellies out of the silicon moulds. (If using the glass dish, gently run a knife around the edge to loosen and then pop it out. Slice jellies into squares or whatever shape you like.)
NB: 2 large (or 4 small) jelly cubes will supply the serving size of 1 cap of Biokult
