Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup water (120 ml hot, 120 ml cold) Use hot water for dissolving gelatin and cold water for cooling the mixture.
  • 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin Equivalent to 10 g.
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice Optional ingredient for flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon honey or sweetener of choice Adjust sweetness to taste.

Instructions

Preparation

  • Heat 1/2 cup of water until steaming, but not boiling.
  • Sprinkle the gelatin over the hot water slowly while stirring until dissolved (it’s okay if it gets a bit foamy).
  • Add in the apple cider vinegar or lemon juice and your chosen sweetener. Stir well to combine.
  • Pour in the cold 1/2 cup of water to cool the mixture down.
  • Transfer the mixture into a glass dish or silicone mold.
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the gelatin is fully set.
  • Once set, cut into cubes and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness for up to a week. Experiment with flavors by adding fruit juice instead of vinegar or lemon juice. For a vegan option, use agar-agar instead of gelatin.
