take your time and be patient so you
take your time and be patient so you don’t make a mess and keep stirring it
don’t make a mess and keep stirring it
don’t make a mess and keep stirring it slowly until you can see all the gelatin
slowly until you can see all the gelatin
slowly until you can see all the gelatin is mixed in alright it’s time to heat
is mixed in alright it’s time to heat
is mixed in alright it’s time to heat things up and turn the sugary soup into

let it sit for around 10 minutes to give
let it sit for around 10 minutes to give it all a good chance to settle and cool
it all a good chance to settle and cool
it all a good chance to settle and cool a bit and you’ll soon see all the
a bit and you’ll soon see all the
a bit and you’ll soon see all the impurities collect together at the top
