My recipe worked fine for me and people around seemed to like it. I will, however, readily admit that I like things sweet. The lemon seems like an interesting thought...

We call it "gelatina batida" (beaten gelatin). Your recipe seems very elaborated, but I can not believe that only 1-1/2 cups of water is enough, and adding 1/4 cup of sugar would make it too sweet. The way I do it is: preparing the 6-oz Jell-o w/ 3-1/2 cups of water if I want the product firm, otherwise 4 cups like the instructions from the box. Then I mixed it with the beaten frozen can of milk. I add 2-3 tablespoons of sugar if I want it to be sweeter otherwise none is necessary. A few drops of lemon helps to get it done quicker, but it is optional. I do not know where the idea of the gelatin with milk comes from, but it was something that I grew up with in Lima, Peru.
