Ingredients

  • 6 oz (170 g) large box lemon jello, (or 2 small 3oz boxes)

  • Bring mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and becomes more translucent. (About 5 minutes total.)
  • Remove from heat and stir in the ice cubes until melted. Pour mixture into a large heatproof bowl and cool in the refrigerator until slightly thickened, and lukewarm to the touch; about 10-15 minutes.
