  6. 6 Put the jelly in the refrigerator for 2-4 hours.

Tips

  • Depending on the energy drink, the amount of sugar can affect the consistency of the jelly. If you have made energy jelly. And it seemed too soft for you, add 1 extra packet of plain gelatin the next time you make the jelly. Or jelly with their unsweetened energy drink.
  • You can vary the dose of caffeine for each jelly shot. Remember, in small doses caffeine stimulates, in large (more than 2 grams) - kills. This recipe makes 15 (60 ml) shots of jelly, so the total dose is multiplied by 15. If you want to make a jelly with 25 mg of caffeine per serving, you will need 375 mg of caffeine powder. A can of cola contains 50 mg of caffeine, 1 cup of espresso contains 100 mg of caffeine, 2.5 Red Bull drinks contain 200 mg of caffeine.
  • To make Cherry Bomb Jelly, mix 1 packet of cherry gelatin, 1 cup (250 ml) energy drink, and 1 cup (250 ml) vodka.
  • Buy pure caffeine powder from either a sports store or online store. Caffeine tablets can be crushed, but they do not dissolve so easily in a mixture of gelatin and water due to its filler. You can also make a mistake with the dosage.
  • Pure caffeine is bitter, but at the small dosage required for this recipe, the bitterness will not be noticeable.
  • Try adding other ingredients found in energy drinks, such as ginseng or liquid vitamin B. Be careful with dosage, read labels and directions for use carefully. Remember that you can eat a lot of energy jelly at one time, and this can adversely affect your health.

Warnings

  • Don't mess with caffeine. In small amounts, it is useful, but large doses (2 grams or more) can be fatal. Caffeine overdose is very unpleasant and can result in death. If you become nervous and restless, STOP eating caffeine jelly and wait for the symptoms to subside. The next time you cook with this recipe, cut back on the caffeine in the jelly.
  • Do not add more than 50 mg of caffeine to one serving of jelly. Otherwise, the gelatin will be bitter and unpleasant side effects will appear.
