Recipe Description

This Edible Juice is a hilarious prank to make this April fool’s day. It is a great way to trick your friends or family into thinking that they are about to drink a cold glass of OJ from the refrigerator. Little will they realise that the “juice” is completely solid!

It’s foolproof to make these drinks too (see what I did there?!) Start by dissolving gelatin in a cup of orange juice. Bring the remaining orange juice to a boil and slowly add the gelatin mixture. Pour the orange and gelatin mix into 4 tall glasses and insert a straw in each. Refrigerate until you are ready to trick your victims!

To make Edible Juice, you will need the following ingredients:
