Preparation
  1. Pour 1 cup of diet green tea into a small bowl and sprinkle gelatin evenly, allowing it to bloom for 5 minutes.
  2. Heat the remaining 2 cups of diet green tea in a small saucepan over medium heat until steaming, but do not boil.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin mixture until completely dissolved.
  4. Add fresh lemon juice and your chosen sweetener, stirring well until combined.

  6. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until fully set.

Notes

For best results, ensure the gelatin is fully dissolved before chilling to avoid a grainy texture. Adjust sweetener to your taste.
