Ingredients
Scale
Gelatin Mixture
- 1 cup water (divided: 1/2 cup cold, 1/2 cup hot)
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin powder
- 1 teaspoon honey or zero-calorie sweetener (such as stevia)
- Few drops of vanilla or lemon juice
- Optional: pinch of pink Himalayan salt
Instructions
- Bloom the Gelatin: Pour 1/2 cup of cold water into a bowl and sprinkle the unflavored gelatin powder evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 1 minute to allow the gelatin to absorb the water and bloom.
- Dissolve the Gelatin: Add 1/2 cup of hot water to the bloomed gelatin and stir thoroughly until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Flavor and Sweetener: Stir in your chosen sweetener—either honey or a zero-calorie alternative like stevia—along with a few drops of vanilla or lemon juice to enhance the flavor profile.
- Optional Salt Addition: If desired, add a pinch of pink Himalayan salt, which can help with hydration and adds a subtle complexity to the taste.
- Set the Gelatin: Pour the gelatin mixture into a dish, silicone mold, or cup, depending on your preference for shape and serving.
- Refrigerate: Place the gelatin in the refrigerator and chill until it firms up, which generally takes about 2 hours but can be left overnight for convenience.
- Consume Before Bed: Eat the set gelatin 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime to help reduce nighttime hunger and promote restful sleep.
Notes
- Use plain, grass-fed gelatin for the highest quality and best health benefits.
- You can also opt to stir the gelatin mixture into warm beverages like tea or milk to create a soothing bedtime drink alternative.
