Rooibos gelee


 
  • 1/4 c loose rooibos tea
  • 4 c water
  • 2 1/2 T sugar
  • 2 or 3 sheets gelatin
  • cocoa powder
  • coarse sugar
  • 1 c heavy cream
  • 1 t lemon extract
  1. Boil water. Add tea and let steep for 5 minutes. Filter through a coffee filter and return to a saucepan.
  2. Reduce tea to 2 c. Sweeten with sugar, to taste.
  3. Soak gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes. Squeeze out most of the water. Stir into tea.
  4. Pour about 3 T tea into shot glasses. Let cool then cover with saran wrap. Chill for at least 3 hours.
  5. Mix a couple tablespoons of coarse sugar with a few teaspoons of cocoa powder. Put 1/4 t or so of the mixture on the top of each gelee.
  6. Add lemon extract to taste to the cream. It should be noticeably lemony. Whip to soft peaks. Put a dollop on top of each gelee and serve.
