Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Sieve
  • Silicone Mold
  • Silicone Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 350 ml heavy cream, or 1/2 cup
  • 350 ml whole milk, or 1/2 cup
  • 20 grams dry hibiscus
  • 110 grams raw cane sugar or granulated sugar, or 1/2 cup
  • 1 tablespoon granulated gelatin, or 1 envelope
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or the seed of one vanilla bean, or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla paste

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan, bring cream, milk, sugar, and dry hibiscus to a boil.
  2. As soon as it starts to boil, bring the heat down to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. After the 10 minutes, turn off the heat and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, giving more time for the hibiscus to infuse.
  4. Pour the liquid through a sieve to collect and discard all the hibiscus.
  5. Transfer the liquid back to the saucepan. Turn the heat on low and add the gelatin to the mixture. Stir well until all the gelatin has dissolved, about 5 minutes.
  6. I do suggest running the liquid through the sieve again in case any gelatin pieces are left undissolved.
  7. Turn off the heat and add the vanilla.
  8. Pour the liquid into the silicon mold or any container of your choice.
  9. Let it cool to room temperature. After that, you can cover it with plastic and transfer it to the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.

Notes

* Note: If you are using a silicon mold, you might need to run a knife around the edges to make sure they come out nicely without breaking or getting stuck. Although that is not always necessary, you can tell just by looking at the edges if they are stuck to the mold or not.
