Coconut Milk & Gelatin Cubes – A Traditional Remedy Turned Delicious Health Booster
If you’re looking for a simple way to support your joints, skin, and digestion, this old-fashioned remedy might surprise you. By gently heating coconut milk (or any milk you prefer) together with gelatin, you can create small “health cubes” that are both soothing and nutritious.
What You Need
1 cup coconut milk (or almond, oat, or regular milk — any works) A few slices of fresh ginger 1 cinnamon stick or ½ tsp ground cinnamon (Optional) 1–2 cloves or a piece of star anise for extra flavor 1 tablespoon grass-fed gelatin powder A little honey or maple syrup if you prefer it sweet How to Prepare
Pour the coconut milk into a small saucepan. Add the ginger slices and cinnamon stick (plus cloves/star anise if using). Let everything simmer gently for a few minutes — just enough to infuse the flavors. Turn off the heat and sprinkle the gelatin over the warm milk, stirring until completely dissolved. Pour the mixture into a container or ice cube tray. Let it cool in the fridge until firm. You’ll now have soft, chewy gelatin cubes packed with healing benefits! Why This Remedy Works
