Method

  1. Put the gelatine into a bowl, cover with cold water and soak for 15 minutes, until softened.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the sugar and 225ml water over a low heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring to the boil, then boil for 5 minutes, until syrupy. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Squeeze out the excess water from the gelatine and stir into the sugar syrup, until melted. Stir in the gin, tonic water and lemon juice. Strain into a jug – remove any froth on the surface.
