Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Lemon Shell
Gently scrub the lemon skin clean. Cut the lemon in half, then carefully separate the peel from the pulp along the edges. Remove the pulp completely and keep the lemon shells intact. Set them aside.
2. Extract Fresh Lemon Juice
Strain the lemon pulp to extract the juice. Measure out 20 g of fresh lemon juice and set aside.
3. Brew the Jasmine Tea
Brew 300 ml of jasmine tea using hot water. Let it steep until fragrant, then strain and keep warm.
4. Cook the Jelly Base
In a saucepan, combine jasmine tea, lemon juice, honey, and white jelly powder. Stir well and heat over low heat. Keep stirring until the mixture comes to a gentle boil and everything is fully dissolved.
5. Fill the Lemon Cups
Carefully pour the hot jelly mixture into the prepared lemon shells. Work slowly to avoid spilling.
6. Chill and Set
Sprinkle a few dried jasmine flowers on top if desired. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until fully set.
7. Ready to Serve
Once chilled, the jelly will be firm, glossy, and refreshing. Slice or scoop and enjoy.
