  1. Sprinkle gelatin over cold water and let it bloom for 5 minutes until softened.

Adjust gelatin for softer or firmer texture. Do not freeze, as texture breaks down. Handle gently when serving to maintain structure. Customize flavors with different fruits or extracts. Store covered in refrigerator up to three days for best quality.
