2 sachets of Gelatine (Available in many Home Baking Supermarket aisles)

  3. Add the jelly and gelatine and stir until all the gelatine and jelly has visibly dissolved
  4. Drink some gin
  5. Pour ¾ of the mixture into a square Tupperware tub and leave to set in the fridge for approximately 20 mins.
  6. Whilst your waiting for the jelly to set – drink some gin
  7. When the jelly is springy to touch and has set – add the yogurt to the remaining jelly & gelatine mix in the jug – stir and pour into the Tupperware
  8. Bored waiting another 30 mins? Have a gin
  9. By this time, you should be rather tipsy and your gin treats should be ready. Check the mixture is fully set (it should spring back when touched). Cut into cubes and enjoy with friends.
