Cooking Tips

• To unmold the gelee easily, dip the bottom of the molds in warm water for a few seconds before inverting onto a plate.

Storage and Serving

• Store the gelee in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Serve the gelee chilled as a light and refreshing dessert.
• Garnish with fresh strawberries or mint leaves for an extra touch of elegance.
