In a small bowl, combine the gelatin with ¼ cup water. Let it sit to bloom while you prepare the syrup.

In a saucepan, combine rest of the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil and heat until it reaches a high temperature (around 240°F), be cautious, it’s hot.

Pour the bloomed gelatin into a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. With the mixer on low speed, slowly stream in the hot liquid.

Gradually increase the speed to high and whip until the mixture turns pale, thick, and fluffy. This may take 8–12 minutes, so be patient.

Transfer to a clean jar or container and refrigerate.

If the fluff becomes too firm in the fridge, simply place the jar in warm water for a few minutes to soften.
