Gin And Tonic Jelly

Makes 10 to 20

For those of us who like to put our feet up and relax with a perfect gin and tonic this is the dessert for you. Gin and tonic jelly is a playful dessert, perfect to end a summer dinner party with.

Drink flavoured jelly has come a long way since student days of vodka jelly, when it was more about the alcohol content. For those of us who enjoyed vodka jelly, gin and tonic jelly is more elegant and grown up but still wonderfully fun.

Serve at the end of a dinner party with fresh berries as a beautiful dessert or a fun alternative to after dinner mints.
