You wouldn’t believe how easy it is to make homemade Jello! This is a fun, easy treat that everyone loves and can be made healthy with just a few simple ingredients. Gelatin has many health benefits when it is derived from pastured grassfed cows. I use Great Lakes Gelatin. There are 2 kinds. The red bottle and the green bottle. The red bottle requires the gelatin to be dissolved in hot water. The green bottle does not. The red bottle is less expensive so I go with that one. You can pick it up here at Amazon. Ok, back to jello making…
Kombucha Jello is an advanced real foodie recipe but if have no clue what kombucha is and you just want to make regular jello, you can just use your favorite 100% juice; no extra sugar usually needs to be added. Or you can buy one of GT’s Kombuchas and give it a whirl. For our kombucha workshop, I second fermented a bottle of kombucha with strawberries in a half gallon mason jar. I used a large handful of frozen raspberries, blueberries and strawberries, quartered. I let it ferment for one day.
Here’s what I used:
2 cups of berry kombucha
1 tbsp evaporated cane sugar (You can use up to 2 tbsp if you like things sweeter.)
3 tbsp of Great Lakes Grassfed Gelatin
To make the jello, I dissolved 3 tbsp of Great Lakes Grassfed Gelatin into 1/4 cup of berry kombucha that I heated up on the stove. You don’t want to heat all of the kombucha up and pasteurize all the good enzymes and probiotics out of it so just use a small amount to dissolve the gelatin. Stir constantly and vigorously from start to finish to break up the gelatin and make sure it gets dissolved. Add in the sugar next. Then combine the heated concoction with the rest of your berry kombucha. Stir and pour into a 8 in square glass dish. Refrigerate until firm and then slice to enjoy your Berry Kombucha Jello! You can use any flavored kombucha you like. You can also puree fruit to add into your Jello concoction. Be creative and have fun! I want to hear what kind of jello flavors you make. Bon appetite!
