Main Ingredients

  • 1 packet unflavored gelatin powder Key ingredient for texture
  • 1 cup total liquid (hot and cold) Split into hot and cold portions

Hot Liquid

  • 1 cup hot water or tea Must be steaming hot but not boiling

Preparation

  • Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over a small splash of cold liquid and let it sit for 1-2 minutes until hydrated.
  • Pour in the hot liquid and stir until the mixture becomes clear (no lumps).
  • Add the rest of your cold liquid to reach a total of about 1 cup, taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
