    Vegan Lemon Jelly (GF)

    This Vegan Lemon Jelly makes a great light dessert, or if you're feeling sophisticated, also doubles up as a refreshing palate cleanser.

    Vegan Lemon Jelly (GF)

    Just like this Lemon Tea, this Vegan Lemon Jelly was inspired by a yuzu jelly I ate in Japan. Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit, and although it's delicious, it is hard to find outside Japan, so I decided to make a Lemon Jelly instead!

    The jelly is made vegan using agar, which is a natural jelly-like substance that comes from algae. It's very healthy as it's around 80% fibre.

    It's used in many traditional Japanese desserts, such as anmitsu. You'll be able to get hold of agar jelly in local health stores, Asian supermarkets, and maybe even your local supermarket too!

    The ginger syrup adds a warming, spicy and slightly piquant edge to the heady aroma of the lemon. It is completely optional though, as the lemon jelly alone tastes delicious by itself too.

    If you try out this recipe or anything else from my blog, I’d really love to hear any feedback! Please give it a rating, leave a comment, or tag a photo #rhiansrecipes on Instagram! Thank you.
