Ingredients for 1 servings:
1. 1 cup water
2. 1 cup white sugar
3. 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin (3 envelopes total)
4. 3/4 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
5. 1 cup fresh lime juice
6. 1 cup lightly packed mint leaf
7. 1 cup white rum
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, heat the water and sugar to a gentle simmer. Cook until the sugar dissolves, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle the gelatin over the simmering syrup and whisk constantly over low heat until the gelatin dissolves, about 1 minute.
2. Put the syrup, lime juice and mint leaves in a heatproof bowl. Let stand 15 minutes.
3. Stir in rum. Strain into a large measuring cup. Squeeze the mint leaves to extract as much liquid (and flavor) as possible. Stir well.
4. Arrange 30 small paper cups on a sheet tray. Divide the mixture equally among the cups, then refrigerate until chilled and firm, about 3 hours.
Enjoy your meal!
