Mint Julep Jelly

A bit of 🇺🇸 with the 🇦🇺/🇬🇧 Sunday roast lamb.

3 g agar agar
350 g water
150 g sugar
150 g bourbon
~50 mint leaves

Makes about 300 ml

  1. Blend bourbon and mint leaves then strain through a fine mesh strainer. Push on the solids to get all the liquid out. Strain through a coffee filter or paper towel to clarify.
  2. Add agar agar to cold water in a pot. Turn on heat and and mix until fully dissolved.
  3. Bring to boil and hold it boiling for 5 minutes.
  4. Add sugar and mix until fully dissolved.
  5. Reduce to a simmer then mix in the mint bourbon mixture.
  6. Remove from heat and pour into a mould or jar.
  7. Agar agar will set at room temperature but putting it in the fridge will speed this up.
