  • 1/2 Cup Boiling Water
  • 2 Teaspoons Fragrance Oil
  • 1-3 Drops Liquid Food Dye optional

Instructions

  • Add the two packets of gelatin and half cup of room temperature water to a medium mixing bowl. Gently stir, just enough so that the gelatin powder gets wet, and set aside for 5 minutes.
