Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups coconut water, not from concentrate
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon or lime juice
- 2 tablespoons unflavored grass-fed gelatin powder (approximately 14g)
- 1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
- 1 to 2 tablespoons raw honey or pure maple syrup, adjusted to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon magnesium glycinate powder (optional but recommended)
Instructions
- Pour 1/2 cup of cold coconut water into a medium bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly across the surface. Do not stir. Let it bloom for exactly 5 minutes.
- Heat the remaining 2 cups of coconut water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until it reaches approximately 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Do not let it boil.
- Pour the hot coconut water over the bloomed gelatin. Whisk gently for 60 to 90 seconds until fully dissolved, no visible granules.
- Add the lemon juice, Himalayan salt, magnesium powder if using, and your sweetener. Stir to combine.
- Pour into your 8x8 glass dish or individual silicone molds.
- Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours. Do not freeze to speed the process.
Notes
Skipping the bloom causes clumping and a gritty texture. Boiling the coconut water breaks down gelling proteins. Use grass-fed beef gelatin for best results. Store in refrigerator for up to 5 days.
