Remember the old jello commercials? So catchy. Well today I have for you a healthier version of Jello, and why it may not taste like the good ole jiggler kind, it is pretty darn good for containing NO SUGAR!
INGREDIENTS:
4 cups of water
8 herbal tea bags
2 packets unflavored gelatin
2 tsp artificial sweetner (optional)
- Bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
- Add tea bags - leave until desired flavor is achieved
- Add artificial sweetner to this mixture
- Remove 1 cup of mixture and cool in the fridge
- After the 1 cup mixture is cooled remove from fridge and empty 2 packets of unflavored gelatin on top - let it sit for 1-2 minutes
- Rewarm the remaining 3 cups and add to gelatin mixture - stir for 5 minutes.
- Put into desired dish and add any fruit you would like
- Cool in the fridge for about 30 minutes
*I like the celestial herbal teas - they have fruity ones such as blueberry and raspberry.
**If you try to avoid artificial sweetners (as I am trying to do) you don't need the sweetner. I tried another batch without and topped it with a teaspoon of plain yogurt and honey and it was still deliciouis!
***OR you could just use natural fruit juice that has no added sugars!
**** The idea and original recipe for this came from http://blog.recipeforfitness.com/
