Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Sift Dry Ingredients

   Into a small bowl, sift 1/3 cup of icing sugar (also known as powdered sugar or confectioners sugar) and 1 tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) to ensure there are no lumps.

2. 2.Add Citric Acid

   Add 3 teaspoons of citric acid to the bowl with the sifted ingredients.

3. 3.Add Jelly Crystals

   Pour in the entire 85g box of orange jelly crystals (Jell-O/jelly) into the bowl.

4. 4.Mix Thoroughly

   Using a spoon, mix all the ingredients together until they are completely combined and the mixture has a uniform color.

5. 5.Taste and Adjust

   Take a small taste of the sherbet. If you prefer it sweeter, add a little more icing sugar. If you desire more tanginess, add a little more citric acid, mixing well after each addition.

6. 6.Serve

   Serve the good old-fashioned sherbet with lollipops, hard candies, or a wet spoon for dipping. Enjoy the sweet, tangy, and fizzy flavor.

7. 7.Storage Tip

   For convenient future enjoyment, divide any leftover sherbet into individual portions and store them in snap-lock bags in a cupboard.
