Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 ml) water (filtered)
- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin powder
- 1 tablespoon honey or your preferred sweetener (optional)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
- A pinch of turmeric powder (optional, for additional anti-inflammatory benefits)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Gelatin Mixture:
- In a small saucepan, pour 1/2 cup of water and sprinkle the gelatin powder over the surface. Let it sit for a minute or two to “bloom” (absorb the liquid and swell).
- Heat and Dissolve:
- Place the saucepan over low heat and gently warm the mixture. Stir constantly until the gelatin is completely dissolved. This should only take a few minutes. Avoid bringing it to a boil.
- Add Sweetener and Flavoring (Optional):
- Remove the saucepan from heat. If you wish to sweeten the drink, stir in honey or your preferred sweetener. You can also add lemon juice for a refreshing taste and a pinch of turmeric for its anti-inflammatory properties.
- Dilute with Remaining Water:
- Add the remaining 1/2 cup of water to the mixture and stir well. If you prefer a cold drink, use chilled water or add ice cubes.
- Serve:
- Pour the gelatin drink into a glass and enjoy warm or cold. You can drink this once a day.
Tips:
- Consistency: The consistency of the drink can vary based on the amount of gelatin used. You can adjust the amount of gelatin to make it thicker or thinner.
- Variations: Experiment with different flavors by adding natural extracts like vanilla or fruit juices.
- Frequency: Drinking this gelatin drink regularly may help support joint health over time. However, consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice, especially if you have any medical conditions.
Enjoy your drink and the potential benefits it may bring to your joint health!
