  • ingredients
  • 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1/4 cup water (optional, depending on how sour you like things – without it these are quite sour!)
  • zest from lemons and/or limes as desired
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional, but will be very tart without this)
  • 4-5 tablespoons grass-fed gelatin, (orange/red package will gel, the green will not)

Preparation

Step 1


In a small pot over medium-low heat, whisk the lemon juice, lime juice, water (optional), zest, maple syrup, and gelatin together vigorously until the gelatin is well dissolved and the mixture becomes a nice slurry.

Chill in the refrigerator until completely set, approximately 30 minutes.
