Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Gelatin Base
In a medium saucepan, pour 1 liter of water.
Add 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar.
Sprinkle 2 packets of unflavored gelatin powder evenly over the water.
Heat the mixture on medium until the gelatin and sugar dissolve completely, stirring occasionally.
Once dissolved, remove from heat and divide the mixture into three equal parts.
Step 2: Add Colors and Set
In the first part, add 15 drops of red food coloring. Pour into a baking dish.
Repeat with other colors in the remaining mixtures.
Place the baking dishes in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 2 hours until firm.
Step 3: Dice the Jelly
