Bull's Eye Jelly

"Created for the Red Bull Conference, it is a light mignardise comprised of two layers. Top is made of original red bull concoction (yes, the energy drink) complemented by a base of lychee fruit and juice . Coriander provides a refreshing touch while strawberry coulis tempers the "fizzy" flavor of red bull."

RED BULL JELLY

The Red Bull jelly involves two steps. First, the red bull layer is prepared and allowed to set in the chiller. This will take around two (2) hours. It is then topped with the lychee mixture. The jelly is finished off with a piece of coriander leaf and a drop of strawberry coulis.

If this jelly is to be served in ambient conditions, agar-agar may be used instead of the gelatin. One (1) ounce of agar-agar normally solidifies three (3) Kg of liquid. Adjust the recipe accordingly.
