Sprinkle in the gelatin and stir continuously over low heat until completely dissolved.

Add food coloring and floral extract if using. Divide mixture into bowls to create different pastel colors.

Carefully pour the jelly into the lemon halves and top with dried edible flowers.

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until fully set.

Once firm, slice each lemon half into wedges for serving.

Use culinary-grade flowers only for safety and flavor.
