Method:

1. Finely grate the rind from the lemon. Cut off all the white pith, then cut the fruit into slices, then into quarters.

2. Sprinkle the gelatin over the lemon rind and water in a small bowl. Leave to soften for 5 minutes.

3. Stand the bowl in a pan of hot water and stir until the gelatin has dissolved completely.

4. Warm the milk in a saucepan. Stir in the sugar until dissolved. Mix a little of the milk into the gelatin, then pour back into the remaining milk and stir well.

5. Color lightly with food coloring, if liked. Pour into a wetted 750 ml/3 cup jelly (jello) mould and leave to cool. Chill until set.

6. Turn the jelly out on to a serving plate, decorate with the quartered lemon slices and angelica leaves.
