sodium citrate. Transfer tea infusion to saucepan, whisk sugar mix into water and
bring to a simmer to dissolve ingredients.Meanwhile mix ingredients for part 2 and set
aside. Once part 1 has come to a simmer,whisk in part 2 to set the gel. Pour into a clean

increased viscosity prevents mixing of the cold and warm side.
