Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup water, divided
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
- 1/8 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
Optional Ingredients
- 1 scoop collagen
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or flavor drops
- Stevia or monk fruit sweetener, to taste
Instructions
- Bloom the Gelatin: Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over ½ cup of cold water and let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to bloom, allowing the gelatin granules to absorb the water and swell.
- Prepare Salted Water: Heat the remaining ½ cup of water until steaming but not boiling. Add the Himalayan pink salt and stir until fully dissolved, ensuring even distribution of the saltiness.
- Combine Gelatin and Salted Water: Stir the hot salted water into the bloomed gelatin mixture thoroughly until all gelatin granules have completely dissolved, creating a smooth liquid base.
- Add Optional Ingredients: At this stage, add the optional scoop of collagen powder, lemon juice or flavor drops, and sweeteners such as stevia or monk fruit to taste. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Chill and Set: Pour the prepared gelatin mixture into small cups or molds and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set and firm to the touch. Serve chilled for best results.
Notes
- Make sure the water for blooming the gelatin is cold to ensure proper swelling of the gelatin granules.
- Do not boil the salted water; it should be hot but below boiling to maintain gelatin effectiveness.
- Optional collagen adds extra protein and supports skin and joint health.
- Lemon juice or flavor drops can be adjusted based on your preferred taste.
- Sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit keep this recipe low-calorie and diabetic-friendly.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days for freshness.
