Vodka jelly

If you enjoy an alcoholic drink, but find thin liquid difficult to swallow, this is a delicious way to sample vodka. It’s important to get the measurements correct or the jelly may not set.

Preparation time:5 minutes, plus overnight chilling

Serves:4

Vodka jelly is often made in shot glasses and ‘sucked’ out of the glass. This may cause problems if you have swallowing difficulties, as it can cause coughing. Using a rubber ice cube tray makes it easier to pop the jellies out first, then eat at your leisure.
