How to Make homemade jello for gut health

1. Using a liquid measuring cup, measure out ½ cup of 100% fruit juice. Pour the juice into a small saucepan and heat it over medium heat on the stovetop until it reaches a boil.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of grass-fed gelatin evenly over ½ cup of boiled water or boiled fruit juice. Let it sit undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
3. Using a whisk, gently stir the bloomed gelatin mixture in the bowl until it is fully dissolved and smooth. Ensure there are no clumps remaining.
4. Pour the remaining 3 cups of fruit juice into the bowl with the gelatin mixture. Use a silicone spatula to thoroughly combine the ingredients until the mixture is uniform in texture.
5. Carefully transfer the mixture into a silicone mold or glass baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.

Expert Tips
