Ingredients
Scale
Gelatin Mixture
- 1 cup water (½ cup hot, ½ cup cold)
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin (1 packet if using Knox)
- 1–2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice (optional)
- 1 teaspoon honey or stevia (or sweetener of choice)
Instructions
- Heat Water: Warm ½ cup of water until it becomes steaming but avoid letting it reach a full boil to preserve gelatin efficacy.
- Dissolve Gelatin: Slowly sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the hot water while stirring continuously to ensure it dissolves evenly; a foamy texture is normal.
- Add Flavors and Sweetener: Incorporate apple cider vinegar or lemon juice along with your chosen sweetener like honey or stevia, stirring thoroughly to blend all ingredients.
- Cool the Mixture: Pour in the remaining ½ cup of cold water to bring down the temperature and prepare the gelatin for setting.
- Mold the Gelatin: Transfer the mixture into a glass dish or silicone mold to shape your gelatin cubes.
- Refrigerate: Place the mold in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the gelatin to fully set.
- Serve and Store: Cut the set gelatin into cubes and store them in an airtight container in the fridge, where they will keep fresh for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Ensure water is hot but not boiling for best gelatin activation.
- Customize sweetness to your preference by adjusting honey or stevia amounts.
- Using apple cider vinegar or lemon juice is optional but adds a pleasant tartness and can enhance flavor.
- Silicone molds help easily release gelatin cubes without breaking.
- Store gelatin cubes in an airtight container to maintain freshness up to five days.
