Kombucha Jello

Kombucha Jello with Whipped Coconut Milk

The bottom shelf of my pantry!

I love Kombucha and have been drinking it for a while now.  Kombucha is a fermented tea with many great properties including probiotics.  The cost for a kombucha tea at the store is not cheap, usually around $3-$4 a bottle.  So, I decided to try brewing my own.  Well, it has really taken off and now I have kombucha coming out of my ears.  I was trying to think of other things to do with kombucha and decided to try and make jello.   I have had a can of Great Lakes Gelatin (the orange can) in my pantry for a while now and I wanted to see if kombucha would work for jello.  It turned out great and now I make it on a regular basis.

Here is what I did:

2 cups kombucha

2-3 Tablespoons of Great Lakes Gelatin

1 can of coconut milk-place in the fridge overnight or in the freezer for a few hours

Put one cup of kombucha and the gelatin in a saucepan and stir over low heat.  

When it gets warm but not hot, remove from heat and add the other cup of kombucha.

Mix together and pour into a pie dish.  

Refrigerate until set.

I cut mine into squares using a knife and then scoop it out with a spoon.

I also wanted to make some whipped topping and decided to give coconut milk a try.  

I put the can in the freezer for a few hours (you can also put the can in the fridge overnight), scooped out the solid coconut on top and saved the liquid in the bottom for another day. 

 I used a very cold bowl and whipped it up with a hand mixer.
