Make the gelatin egg: sprinkle the gelatin over 3 tbsp cold water in a small bowl and let it bloom for 2 minutes until the surface is fully absorbed and the mixture looks opaque. Pour in 3 tbsp boiling water and whisk vigorously until completely smooth and slightly frothy. Set aside — it will begin to thicken as it cools, so use it within 5 minutes.
