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.

This looks good--I have begun to brew Kombucha and enjoy the process--I feel like I have "kids" in my cupboard I have to take care of.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your journey--I have been on the real foods/paleo for 1 1/2 years.
I'm loving your posts on Facebook. I wish you would blog more often:) I make jello out of so many things too. Lately I've been mixing my gelatin with orange essential oils and then putting it in a candy mold.
ReplyDeleteThanks! One of my goals is to blog once a week. Sometimes I feel like I don't really know what I am doing.
DeleteYour gelatin stuff sounds good!
I don't understand how to get it started I don't know how to get a starter, thanks for the info
ReplyDeleteHi there!
