Power Jello
Today I bring you a wonderful creation: caffeinated gelatin dessert.
To begin, find an energy drink (the more warnings on the label, the better, generally; nerdparadise.com cannot be held responsible if you choose to not heed these warnings), and all of your packages of Jello or other brands.
Making caffeinated Jello is easy. The next step is to select the flavor of Jello most resembling that of your energy drink. I chose grape to go with my Redline, which has 250mg of caffeine for the 8oz bottle. Follow the directions on the back of the package with regards to creation, except replace water with whichever energy drink you selected. My energy drink was not a full 2 cups of liquid, so I used half water and half energy drink. I also decided to make some strawberry Jello when I realized that I had too much hot water for one batch. Here I have set out everything on the table:
After you have everything ready, it's time to mix the Jello. Pour 1 cup of hot liquid (I used water for the first cup) in and stir until there aren't any grains left. You'll be stirring for a while. After you're done with that, stir in a cup of cold liquid (I used the energy drink this time, which was exactly 1 cup and already refrigerated). Here is a picture of me stirring in the Redline:
Now that that is over, you're done, for the time being. Put your mixed Jello in the fridge.
You should probably use the 4 hours it's going to take to do the pile of unfinished work on your desk.
Later, you should have delicious caffeinated Jello for your enjoyment.
It would look like this coming back out of the fridge if mr_flea hadn't eaten it all without taking a picture. Silly mr_flea.
