Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons gelatin powder
- 1 cup cold water (for blooming gelatin)
- 2 cups pink lemonade (warmed)
- 1 cup cold water (to add after sugar)
- Sugar or sweetener, to taste
- Fresh fruit (optional, such as sliced strawberries or raspberries)
- Prepare the gelatin: Sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over half a cup (1/2 cup) of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom and achieve a jelly-like consistency.
- Heat the liquid: Warm the pink lemonade gently on the stove or in the microwave until hot but not boiling, to ensure the gelatin will dissolve properly.
- Combine gelatin and lemonade: Pour the bloomed gelatin mixture into the warm pink lemonade. Stir continuously until the gelatin dissolves completely, forming a smooth liquid.
- Add sugar and cool down: Stir in sugar or your preferred sweetener to taste. Then, add the remaining cold water to cool the mixture before refrigerating.
- Chill and set: Pour the mixture into a large serving pitcher or individual glasses. Refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours, or until the drink is fully set but still drinkable.
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients such as homemade or freshly squeezed pink lemonade for enhanced flavor.
- Allow the gelatin to bloom fully in cold water before dissolving to avoid lumps.
- Avoid boiling the pink lemonade as high heat can break down gelatin and affect the texture.
- Adjust refrigeration time to achieve your preferred firmness in the drink’s texture.
- Add fresh fruit or herbs like mint to the set drink to enhance flavor and presentation.
