Ingredients
  

  • Unflavored gelatin powder, 1 tablespoon
  • Cold water, 1/4 cup
  • Warm water, 1/4 cup
  • Lemon juice, 1 teaspoon (optional)
  • Fresh ginger, 1/2 teaspoon grated (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Whisk gelatin powder with cold water in a bowl for 5 minutes to bloom.
  • Gently stir in warm water until fully dissolved.
  • Add lemon juice and ginger (if using) then mix well.
  • Consume immediately, 20-30 minutes before meals.

Notes

Use grass-fed bovine or fish gelatin for higher collagen content.
Cold-blooming prevents clumps by allowing gelatin to hydrate first.
Store unused portions in the freezer as cubes for later use.
Adjust flavorings to taste (e.g., honey or cinnamon).
