Simple, refreshing summer dessert

Soak and squeeze the gelatine. Boil water with 1 tablespoon of sugar, season with a few squeezes of lemon juice, and add the berries. Bring to a boil, then stir to dissolve the gelatine in the liquid. Divide the mixture among four glasses, let it cool, and refrigerate. Whip the cream with tonka bean syrup and 1 tablespoon of sugar until stiff, spoon over the jelly, garnish with berries and mint leaves, and serve. For a variation, mix the water with elderflower syrup and reduce the sugar accordingly. The cream can also be replaced with yogurt or quark for a more figure-friendly effect.
