For a vegan option, use a plant-based milk alternative and agar-agar powder instead of gelatin. Adjust the amount of agar-agar according to package directions. Experiment with other citrus fruits like clementines or satsumas for a different flavor profile. To prevent a skin from forming on the gelatin while chilling, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface. For a clearer gelatin, allow the boiling water to cool slightly before adding it to the gelatin mixture.

Jun 18, 2025I found that my gelatin wasn't setting properly. After doing some research, I learned that some fruits can inhibit gelatin from setting. So be sure to use canned oranges!
