I’d be up for making a jiggly, glow in the dark Halloween treat if only I knew what “gelatin leaves” were, how much 5 of them would be and if there’s any difference between Indian tonic water and the regular stuff. Anyone know?
Okay, after a bit of research, here’s what I dug up:
Indian tonic water is the same as the regular Schweppes or Canada Dry or what have you that you use in a gin & tonic — they called it “Indian” (mostly in Britain) because the tonic, which contains quinine (then in higher doses) was used for its anti-malaria properties. Apparently gin & tonics originated in India; the gin made the otherwise bitter tonic water taste better.
As for gelatin leaves, they’re the same thing as granulated gelatin, just in different form. 4 leaves = one 1/4 oz. package of granulated gelatin.
You can certainly tell it’s a British recipe… nonetheless, I’m psyched to give it a shot!
Thanks, Maja!
