If you are looking for a delicious, healthy treat which can tide you over between meals, or something light, slightly sweet dessert to finish off a meal, we got you covered.

This recipe is that soft, delicate dish known as gelée. This will surely suit your tastes and make you look like a culinary genius.

And, of course, it contains some tea – in this case, we dip into the well of herbal teas for one of my personal favourites, Serenity tea.

Procedure

1. Use 2 cups of hot water and steep the herbal tea.

4. Chill, covered, until softly set, for at least 8 hours.
