Procedure
-
1Prepare the Green Jelly: In a small pot, combine 300mL of water, 30g of sugar, and 12.5g of Menu Magic Jelly Green
-
2Stir while cold until dissolved, then bring to a boil for 2 minutes over medium heat.
-
3Pour into a flat tray (about 1cm thick) and refrigerate for 30 minutes until very firm.
-
4Once set, cut the Menu Magic Jelly Green nto tiny, precise cubes or "matchsticks" to mimic the look of sliced kiwi.
-
5Prepare the Kiwi Base: Peel 3 of the kiwis. Place them in a blender with the remaining sugar/honey, lime juice, and a splash of water.
-
6Pro Tip: Pulse the blender only a few times. You want to crush the fruit, not pulverize the black seeds (which can make the drink taste slightly peppery).
-
7Assemble: Slice the remaining 1 kiwi into thin rounds and press them against the inside walls of your serving glasses.
-
8Add a generous scoop of the green jelly sinkers to the bottom of each glass.
-
9Fill the glasses with ice cubes.
-
10Pour the pulsed kiwi mixture into the glasses, then top up with cold water or sparkling water for a "fizz" effect.
-
11Stir gently to lift the green jelly sinkers into the layers of ice and fruit.
-
12Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
