Cooking milk jelly with peanuts in chocolate
1. Pour the gelatin powder into any container and dilute according to the instructions on the package. This is usually done in the following way. The powder is poured with warm (not hot) water and mixed well until completely dissolved. Then it is left for 10 minutes to swell.
2. Pour the milk into a container that can be placed on the stove. Add sugar (honey) to it and put on fire. Heat slightly to dissolve the sugar completely. Do not bring milk to a boil, otherwise the jelly will acquire an unpleasant taste.
3. Then pour the diluted gelatin into the milk and mix well. It is advisable to do this through filtration, so that in the case of non-dissolved pieces of gelatin, it does not get into the milk.
