Equipment
- 1 Small saucepan
- 1 Blender
- 1 Shallow container for setting the jelly
Ingredients
For the Jelly Drink
- 1 cup water for simmering
- 1/2 tsp agar-agar powder
- 1/2 cup 100% unsweetened cranberry juice not cranberry cocktail
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Set the Jelly
- Pour 1 cup of water into a small saucepan. Sprinkle in 1/2 teaspoon of agar-agar powder and whisk until no clumps remain.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then simmer for 2 full minutes, whisking often. Agar must boil to set properly.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the cranberry juice, the cold water, and the lemon juice.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow container and cool at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Refrigerate for about 1 hour, until the mixture is set and jiggly.
Blend and Serve
- Scoop the set jelly into a blender, breaking it into rough chunks.
- Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds until the jelly turns into a thick, pourable drink. Add a splash of cold water if it is too thick.
- Pour into two glasses over a few ice cubes and serve right away.
Notes
Use 1/2 teaspoon of agar for a soft, blendable gel; a full teaspoon sets too firm. This drink has no protein because agar-agar has none. It is a light, tart drink, not a weight-loss treatment. Store covered in the fridge for up to 2 days and re-blend before serving.
