Dietitian's tip: The colorful outermost layer of the lemon, called the "zest," is full of essential oils that contribute lively flavor and aroma to this recipe. Remove the zest by grating it with the fine rasps of a hand-held grater to form fine particles.
By Mayo Clinic staff
Serves 8
Ingredients
2 tablespoons cold water
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup skim milk, heated almost to boiling
