Can you make gelatin without mix?

Ingredients:

- 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin powder

- 1/2 cup cold water

- 1 cup boiling water

- 1/4 cup honey or sugar (optional)

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

- Desired flavorings (such as fruit juice, coffee, or tea)

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the gelatin powder and cold water until completely dissolved.

2. Set aside for 5 minutes, or until the gelatin has bloomed and formed a thick gel.

3. In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, combine the boiling water and honey or sugar (if using). Stir until the honey or sugar is dissolved.

4. Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in the bloomed gelatin mixture until completely dissolved.

5. Add the vanilla extract (if using) and any desired flavorings. Stir to combine.

6. Pour the gelatin mixture into individual serving cups or a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the gelatin is set.

8. To serve, dip the serving cups or pan in warm water for a few seconds to loosen the gelatin. Invert onto a plate and enjoy your homemade gelatin.

Tips:

- If you prefer sweetened gelatin, add honey, sugar, or your preferred sweetener to the boiling water before dissolving the gelatin.

- For flavored gelatin, you can add fruit juice, coffee, tea, or other liquids to the boiling water.
