Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Gelatin powder: 2 teaspoons
- Pink fruit juice (strawberry, watermelon, or pink grapefruit): 2 cups
- Sweetener (granulated sugar or honey): 2 tablespoons, adjust to taste
- Cold water: 1/2 cup (for blooming gelatin) + 1/2 cup (for mixing)
- Lemon or lime juice: 1 tablespoon
- Optional milk or cream (milk, cream, coconut milk, or almond milk): 1/4 cup
Instructions
- Prepare the Gelatin: Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of gelatin powder over 1/2 cup of cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes to avoid clumps and ensure a smooth texture.
- Heat the Gelatin Mixture: Gently warm the bloomed gelatin over low heat while stirring until it completely dissolves. Avoid boiling to maintain gelatin’s setting properties.
- Mix the Juice and Sweetener: In a separate container, combine 2 cups of your preferred pink fruit juice with 2 tablespoons of sweetener and 1 tablespoon of lemon or lime juice. Stir until fully integrated, then gradually pour in the warm gelatin solution while stirring continuously.
- Chill to Set: Pour the mixture into glasses or serving cups and refrigerate for 2-3 hours. Aim for a soft, gel-like consistency that remains drinkable if a looser texture is preferred.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled and set, enjoy your Pink Gelatin Drink. For a creamier version, stir in 1/4 cup of milk or cream before refrigerating to create a luscious, smooth finish.
Notes
- Use cold water to bloom gelatin to avoid premature clumping and ensure smoothness.
- Adjust sweetness carefully depending on the natural sweetness of the juice.
- Allow adequate refrigeration time for best texture—do not rush cooling.
- Add fresh fruit pieces between gelatin layers for a decorative, textured presentation.
- Serve chilled for the best refreshing taste.
