Ingredients
- 1 packet (7g) unflavored gelatin powder
- 1 cup unsweetened pomegranate or hibiscus juice
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon raw honey or a few drops of liquid stevia (optional, to taste)
- ΒΌ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of ground ginger
- Ice cubes for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Pour the cold water into a small saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the surface. Let it bloom undisturbed for 2 minutes.
- Warm the saucepan over low heat, stirring gently until the gelatin dissolves completely. Do not boil β warm enough to melt, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the pomegranate or hibiscus juice, fresh lemon juice, cinnamon, and ginger. Mix until fully combined.
- Taste and adjust sweetness with honey or stevia if desired, then stir again to incorporate.
- Pour into a glass or mold. Serve warm immediately, or refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set. Serve chilled or over ice.
Notes
Always bloom your gelatin in cold liquid first before applying heat β this ensures a smooth, lump-free result. Use 100% unsweetened juice for the best flavor and a naturally vibrant pink color. Keep heat low; boiling can weaken the gelatin’s setting strength. This recipe scales up easily β double the batch and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
