20 whole 20 whole 20 whole Mint Leaves, fresh

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with the melted coconut oil, and line the bottom of the dish with a square piece of parchment paper.
Place all ingredients except the gelatin and honey in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Heat the mixture until the mint leaves start turning brown, and the mixture reaches a boil. Let it boil for one minute, then remove from heat.
Strain the mint, ginger, and out of the mixture, and into a large heatproof bowl, or glass measuring cup.
Whisk in the gelatin slowly, until there are no lumps. Stir in the honey, and let the mixture sit until it reaches room temperature.
Pour it into the baking dish, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until it jiggles, and is slightly firm to the touch.
Cut the Jell-O into squares, and serve! Leftover squares should be stored in the fridge for up to three days (if they aren't eaten before then!)
