Sugar-Free Peppermint Gelatin Mints

Chewy, sugar-free gelatin mints with essentially zero calories. A good meal-prep treat.

Ingredients

10 g unflavoured gelatin powder (about 1 tbsp)
45 ml water (3 tbsp)
2–3 drops peppermint aroma (e.g. Dr. Oetker; start with 2, taste, add more if needed)

Bloom: mix the gelatin with the water in a small saucepan or heatproof bowl. Leave for 5 minutes to hydrate.
Dissolve: heat gently (low heat on the stove, or 10–15 second bursts in the microwave), stirring, until it's a completely clear liquid.
Flavour: add the peppermint aroma, starting with the smaller amount. Stir, taste and add more if needed.
Mould: pour into a small silicone candy mould or an ice cube tray. No mould? Pour onto a parchment-lined plate and score it lightly once it starts to set.
Set: refrigerate for 1–2 hours until firm.
Dry: pop them out and let them air-dry at room temperature for a few hours for a chewier, firmer texture.
