Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups water, divided
- 2 hibiscus or raspberry tea bags
- 3/4 cup mashed strawberries or raspberries (fresh or frozen and thawed)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 packets unflavored gelatin powder (about 14 grams total)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or 1 to 2 teaspoons monk fruit sweetener, to taste
- Pinch of sea salt or pink Himalayan salt
- Optional swirl: 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Pour 1/2 cup cold water into a bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin on top and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
- In a small pot, bring the remaining 1 1/2 cups of water to a simmer. Add the tea bags and steep for 5 minutes. Remove the tea bags.
- Whisk in the mashed berries, lemon juice, sweetener, and a pinch of salt. Heat gently until warm, not boiling.
- Take the pot off the heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved and smooth.
- Pour the mixture into a loaf pan or an 8-inch square dish. If using the yogurt swirl, drizzle it over the top and lightly ripple with a spoon.
- Chill until set, about 2 to 3 hours. Slice into cubes or diamonds.
