Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups freshly squeezed Valencia orange juice
  • 2 tablespoons finely grated Valencia orange zest
  • 3 tablespoons high-quality unflavored gelatin powder
  • 1/4 cup raw honey or organic agave nectar
  • 1/2 cup cold filtered water
  • A small pinch of Himalayan sea salt

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Bloom: Pour 1/2 cup of cold filtered water into a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the surface and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it forms a thick consistency.
  2. Juice the Oranges: Squeeze the Valencia oranges until you reach the 4-cup mark. Strain the juice twice through a fine-mesh strainer.
  3. Infuse the Zest: Heat 1 cup of the juice with orange zest and honey over medium-low until it reaches about 140°F (60°C).
  4. Integrate the Gelatin: Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm juice mixture, whisking until no granules remain.
  5. Combine and Cool: Pour the mixture into the remaining cold juice and add a pinch of salt. Whisk to lower the temperature.
  6. The Final Set: Pour into molds or dish, skim bubbles, and refrigerate for at least 4 to 6 hours.

Notes

Ensure to use fresh Valencia oranges for the best flavor. For clarity, double strain the juice before use. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
