Ingredients
  

  • 1 packet flavored jelly crystals (about 90 g)
  • 2 cups hot water (boiling)
  • 1 cup cold water

(Optional: fresh fruits like strawberries, grapes, or apples – avoid pineapple, kiwi, or papaya as they prevent jelly from setting.)

Instructions
 

  • Boil water
    Heat 2 cups of water until it reaches a rolling boil.
  • Dissolve jelly crystals
    Pour the jelly crystals into a mixing bowl. Add the hot water and stir continuously until completely dissolved.
  • Add cold water
    Mix in 1 cup of cold water and stir well.
  • Pour into molds
    Transfer the mixture into molds, cups, or a large dish.
  • Chill
    Place in the refrigerator for at least 3–4 hours, or until firm and set.
  • Serve
    Unmold carefully or serve directly from cups. Garnish with fruit or whipped cream if desired.
