Shiso Leaves Dessert
- 5 leaves Shiso leaves
- 3 level tablespoons Sugar
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 280 ml Water
- 5 grams Powdered gelatin
- Thoroughly wash the shiso leaves.
- Place the gelatin directly into a pot, and soak in 1 tablespoon of water (not listed).
- Stack the shiso leaves, roll them up, and julienne.
- Turn the shredded leaves 90 and finely mince.
- Heat the pot over low heat, add the shiso from Step 2, 200 ml of water and sugar, and stir continuously.
- Once it starts lightly simmering from the bottom of the pot, then boil down for about 1 minute, and turn off the heat.
- Mix the remaining 80 ml water mixed with lemon juice and honey to the pot, and stir well.
- Adding lemon juice directly prevents the jello from easily solidifying.
- Place into a container and chill in the fridge.
- After it has solidified a bit after about an hour, the shiso leaves tend to sink to the bottom, so give it a good stir with a spoon.
- After chilling for 2 or 3 more hours, you will have refreshing and invigorating jiggly jello.
- This tastes great as-is, but crushing it up and pouring in cider is also delicious.
