INGREDIENTS
1 cup ningxia red
5 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup lime juice
3 tablespoons honey
1-2 drops bergamot essential oil
RECIPE
pour ningxia into a medium pot
bloom gelatin by slowly sprinkling it on top of the ningxia - wait for each scoop to dissolve before adding another
after the gelatin is dissolved into the ningxia, turn the stove on medium/low & stir until fully combined - you may need to press clumps of gelatin against the side of your pot with a spoon to help them fully dissolve
once your mixture is completely liquidized, add in lime juice, honey, & bergamot oil & stir together until honey is dissolved
pour warm mixture into molds & place in refrigerator until solidified (around 1-2 hours)
