Notes
- Use high-quality instant coffee for a richer coffee flavor.
- The brown sugar adds a subtle caramel note, but you can adjust the sweetness to taste.
- For a creamier texture, serve the jelly with a splash of cream or sweetened condensed milk.
- Make sure gelatin is fully dissolved to avoid lumps in the jelly.
- Use a silicone mold or lightly grease your mold for easier removal of the jelly.
