Ingredients

• 2½ Tbsp high-quality non-hydrolyzed gelatin powder
• ½ cup cool filtered water (for blooming)

• ½ cup cool purified or filtered water (for sugar mix)

Directions

1. Bloom gelatin by mixing ½ cup cool water with 2½ Tbsp gelatin in a large bowl; let sit 10 min until jello-like.
2. In a saucepan, combine ½ cup cool water and 2 cups sugar; stir well.
3. Attach a candy thermometer to the saucepan, slightly raised from the bottom.
4. Boil sugar mixture gently until it reaches 220°F.
5. Pour hot sugar mix into the gelatin, beating with a mixer on low then high for 5 min until fluffy with air pockets.
