Instructions
Peel and thinly slice enough lemon peel (orange or lime) to use as garnish. With a citrus press, extract enough juice from the citrus options of your choice, to make 2 cups of freshly squeezed juice.
In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, place the sugar and one cup of the fruit juice. Simmer and stir until the sugar is dissolved, about 5-minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the orange blossom.
In a large bowl, place the gelatin and water together, whisk until the gelatin is dissolved. Stir in the Orange blossom syrup mixture, remaining citrus juices along with the coconut milk. Whisk until well blended.
Pour mixture into serving dishes, jello mold, fancy individual molds or even a muffin tin. Place in the refrigerator until firm, about an hour, or overnight.
Un-mold, if in mold cups, or serve in cups the jello mixture set in, and garnish with citrus zest or whipped cream, if desired.

Notes
If animal gelatin is suitable for you, there are many good brand gelatins available. Knox brand gelatin has been around a long time, though any grass-fed gelatin can be used. However if your preference is plant gelatin, then Agar Agar is a really good choice.
