teas.co.uk · 4 hr 20 min · Serves 4

You'll need

• 2 tea bags of Cotterley Lemon Tea
• 200ml freshly drawn water at 100C, just off the boil
• 60g caster sugar
• 40ml fresh lemon juice
• 3 sheets of gold gelatine
• 4 fresh raspberries, one for each dish
• 4 small 150ml glass dishes
• 1 small saucepan, 1 saucer for covering, 1 small bowl of cold water for blooming the gelatine

Method

1. Soak the gelatine sheets in a bowl of cold water for 5 minutes, until floppy.
2. Meanwhile, steep 2 tea bags in 200ml of just boiled water for 5 minutes under a saucer.
3. Lift out the bags and stir the caster sugar into the hot tea until it dissolves.
4. Squeeze the water from the gelatine, then stir the sheets into the warm tea until they melt away completely.
5. Stir in the lemon juice.
6. Divide between four small glasses or dishes.
7. Chill for about four hours, until just set with a gentle wobble.
8. Drop a raspberry on each just before serving; add it earlier and it sinks into the jelly.
