  • 2 cups 100% unsweetened apple and blackcurrant juice
  • 3 teaspoons powdered gelatine
  • ½ teaspoon rosewater essence (optional)
  • 250g punnet strawberries, quartered
  1. Place ½ cup juice and gelatine into a 1-litre microwave safe jug. Microwave on high for 1 minute to boil and dissolve gelatine.

Hint

Rosewater essence is found in baking aisle of supermarket with other flavourings and vanilla. It is inexpensive and adds a subtle sophisticated ‘Turkish delight’ flavour.
