Description
The Gelatin Recipe Trick is a refreshing drink or snack loaded with health benefits.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin powder
- 1/2 cup hot water (very hot, not boiling)
- 1/2 cup cold water, unsweetened juice, or herbal tea
- Optional: lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, or natural sweetener (like monk fruit or stevia)
Instructions
- Begin by sprinkling the unflavored gelatin powder into the very hot waters. It’s crucial that the water is hot enough for the gelatin to dissolve completely but not boiling, as boiling can alter the properties of gelatin. Stir thoroughly until you no longer see any grains or the gelatin is completely dissolved in the liquid.
- Once the gelatin is fully dissolved, it’s time to introduce the cold liquid of your choice—be it plain cold water, a refreshing juice, or herbal tea. Pour the cold liquid into the gelatin mixture and stir well to ensure everything is well combined.
- If you wish to boost flavor and additional health benefits, now is your chance to add in any optional ingredients, like a splash of lemon juice, a few drops of apple cider vinegar, or a sprinkle of your favorite natural sweetener.
- After everything has been mixed smoothly, you can either pour the mixture directly into a serving glass for immediate consumption or carefully transfer it into molds if you prefer a chilled cube snack. Chill for about 2–3 hours or until fully set.
Notes
For best results, consume your gelatin snack 15–30 minutes before meals to maximize its health benefits.
