Notes
For the brightest flavor, use lemon water or hibiscus tea. For a softer texture, add 1–2 extra tablespoons of liquid. For a firmer texture, reduce the liquid slightly. This recipe can be a light snack, but gelatin does not cause weight loss by itself. It works best as part of balanced meals and healthy habits. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
