Ingredients

Scale

Gelatin Mixture

  • 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin powder
  • 1/2 cup cold water

Liquid Base

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cranberry juice or pomegranate juice
  • 1/2 cup hot water or hot herbal tea

Optional Additions

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
  • 1 pinch pink salt (optional, only if desired)

Instructions

  1. Bloom the Gelatin: Add 1 tablespoon of unflavored gelatin powder into 1/2 cup of cold water. Mix well and let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom and thicken properly.
  2. Dissolve the Gelatin: Heat 1/2 cup of water or herbal tea in a pan until boiling. Turn off the heat and add 1/2 cup of unsweetened cranberry or pomegranate juice. Stir or whisk the mixture until the bloomed gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Prepare Warm Pink Gelatin Drink (Optional): Stir in 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and a pinch of pink salt if desired. Sip the mixture warm, before it sets, as a soothing and tangy drink.
  4. Prepare Chilled Pink Gelatin (Optional): Pour the gelatin mixture into a small container and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours until it sets firmly. Once set, eat with a spoon or cut into cubes for a refreshing gelatin dessert.

Notes

  • The gelatin can be set with either hot water or hot herbal tea for a slight flavor variation.
  • Lemon juice adds a nice tang but is optional depending on taste.
  • Pink salt enhances the color and flavor slightly but is optional.
  • Ensure gelatin is fully dissolved for smooth texture with no lumps.
  • This recipe yields 1 serving, easy to double or triple as needed.
