Gelatina de Infusiòn de Flores de Jamaica [Spn/Eng]

Gelatin is considered an ideal snack for everyone, due to its numerous health benefits.

It's important to distinguish between the types of gelatin available on the market. We generally opt for the simple gelatin that involves just adding boiling and cooling water to obtain a flavorful gelatin suitable for both children and adults.

It's recommended to differentiate between pure gelatin, which comes in sheets or powder without added flavor, and commercial gelatin, which, as many of us know, contains sugar, colorings, and flavorings. This is what makes them different, and understanding these differences helps us decide which to choose.

Pure gelatin benefits joint, skin, and digestive health because it comes from animal sources, providing collagen. Ultimately, it's up to each individual to choose which type to use. In my case, I prefer pure gelatin for the benefits it provides without chemical additives.

It's up to each person to use their creativity to prepare it in order to obtain its benefits, and to flavor it so that it is very pleasant to the palate, especially if they are children.

Para esta gelatina se usó:

-1 cucharadita de gelatina sin sabor
-1/4 de taza de agua para hidratar la gelatina

Para la infusión:

-1 cucharadita de flores de Jamaica
-3 clavos de especie
-el zumo de un limón
-1 taza más 3/4 de taza de agua

For this gelatin, the following was used:

• 1 teaspoon of unflavored gelatin
• 1/4 cup of water to hydrate the gelatin

For the infusion:

• 1 teaspoon of hibiscus flowers
• 3 cloves
• the juice of one lemon
• 1 cup and 3/4 cups of water

You can sweeten it with sugar or honey (if you prefer; this preparation doesn't include any sweeteners, only the flavor of the lemon and the characteristic flavor of the hibiscus flowers).

The first step was to combine the unflavored gelatin powder with the water to hydrate it.
