To prepare, you typically combine the powder with boiling water until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Then, cold water is added, and the mixture is stirred. It is then poured into individual molds or a larger dish and chilled in the refrigerator until firm. The chilling process allows the gelatin to set and achieve its characteristic wobbly texture. For a softer set, you can use less liquid. For a firmer set, you can use slightly more powder.
