   • Add 1/3 cup of sugar and 1-1/4 teaspoons of Sweet ‘n Low to the saucepan.
   • Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin and sugar completely dissolve.

2. Combine Ingredients:

   • Pour the gelatin mixture into a large bowl.
   • Add the remaining water and fresh lemon juice to the bowl.
   • Chill the mixture in the refrigerator until it becomes syrupy, approximately 2-1/2 hours.

3. Beat Egg Whites:
