    I am sooo confused. The recipe says 1 cup boiling water and cup cold water but there are 2 6 oz boxes of jello? AHOIKD it be 1 cup boiling water and 1 cup cold water for each box? Also the directions never say when to use the cold water. And for the rum, same thing, is it 1.5 cups for each box? Or 3/4 cup each box?

      Sorry, just fixed it, yes, 1 cup cold water and 1 cup boiling water for each jello flavor, and 3/4 rum for each jello flavor.
