  • 3/4 cup hot water
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • Fresh berries or citrus zest (optional)
  • Non-caloric sweetener or small amount of honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure and sprinkle gelatin into a heatproof bowl with 1/4 cup cold water and let bloom for 1 minute.
  2. Heat 3/4 cup of water to a gentle boil and remove from heat.
  3. Dissolve the bloomed gelatin by pouring the hot water over it and stirring for about 30 seconds until glossy.
  4. Add sugar-free flavored mix or sweetener, and let the mix cool for 5 to 10 minutes.
