- 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
- 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.
- 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.

- 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.
