How do you make unflavored jello without using gelitin?

Gelatin is the key ingredient that creates the jiggly, wobbly texture of Jell-O. It's a protein derived from collagen that forms a gel when mixed with water and heated.

However, there are alternative ways to achieve a similar texture without gelatin:

* Agar-agar: This seaweed extract is a vegan alternative to gelatin. It sets firm at room temperature and has a neutral flavor.

* Pectin: This natural substance is found in fruits and is used to thicken jams and jellies. It requires an acidic environment (like lemon juice) to gel properly.

* Chia Seeds: When soaked in liquid, chia seeds expand and create a gel-like texture. This option is also vegan and has a slightly nutty flavor.

* Cornstarch: This can be used to thicken a liquid, though it won't produce the same jiggly texture as gelatin.

Remember: Each alternative has different properties and requires different methods for preparation.
