Espresso Jello Shots

When people find out that we’re from Seattle, most say “Oh, rain! So how often does it rain?” Well, we tell them it’s about 6-8 months, nonstop. It’s hard to believe for those that haven’t seen much of the northwestern states. That rain has just started again and you may think that I’m crazy when I say – ” I love rain”. But the sound of it and the smell of the fresh air, just symbolizes the beautiful, green state that this is.

There is a reason why Seattle has a coffee shop on every corner, sometimes even a few. Coffee does a great job keeping Washingtonians awake.

Bring milk and sugar (1/2 cup or to taste) to a boil, in a small saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from the heat. Add gelatin mixture to milk and sugar, and stir to combine.
  • Use small glass cups and make thin layers of different flavor. Place jello cups in the fridge after each layer, to firm up. Keep both coffee and milk mixture in a room temperature, until your first layer is ready for the next one. Make sure the mixture is not hot, otherwise it will melt the first layer.
