Our Beef Gelatin is soluble in hot liquids but solidifies when mixed in with cold liquids. Its properties aren't the only thing to be impressed by; our Beef Gelatin also delivers plenty of benefits, like helping to support healthier hair, skin, nails and joints.

Kombucha Jello
Yield 4 servings of Kombucha Jello
Ingredients:
- 1/2 C cold water
- 2 scoops Vital Proteins Beef Gelatin or powdered agar
- 1/2 C sugar
- 4 C flavored kombucha
- 1/4 C chopped fruit, in bite-size piece (optional)
- Whipped cream, for serving (optional)
Directions:
- Pour the cold water into a small saucepan. Sprinkle the Vital Proteins Beef Gelatin over the water and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Gelatin can be tricky to work with at first as it has a tendency to clump. Breaking up the powder as best you can while sprinkling it over the water will help to reduce clumping.
- Stir gently with a fork so that clumps are broken up immediately.
- Add the sugar to the saucepan. Stir gently over low heat until the water is slightly warmed and both the sugar and gelatin are dissolved.
- Remove from the heat and add the kombucha.
- Pour into a gelatin mold, ramekins, or an 8-inch square pan.
- Add the fruit (optional). Place in the refrigerator and let chill for 2 to 4 hours, until set. Cover the gelatin once it has cooled.
- Cut into finger sized squares or cubes and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or layer with whipped cream to make a gelatin parfait.
