Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup hot water (not boiling)
  • 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice or apple cider vinegar

Equipment

  • mug
  • spoon
  • measuring spoon
  • kettle or saucepan
  • refrigerator (optional)

Method
 

  1. Heat the water until hot but not boiling.
  2. Pour the hot water into a mug.
  3. Slowly sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the hot water.
  4. Stir continuously for 1–2 minutes until the gelatin is fully dissolved and smooth.
  5. Add lemon juice or apple cider vinegar and stir to combine.
  6. Drink warm immediately, or refrigerate for 30–60 minutes until lightly set.

Notes

Use hot but not boiling water to help preserve texture and prevent clumping. Stir continuously for 1–2 minutes until fully dissolved. Drink warm immediately or refrigerate 30–60 minutes for a lightly set version. For a pink variation, replace lemon juice with 2–3 tablespoons unsweetened cranberry or berry juice. This drink supports satiety but does not replace balanced meals.
