- ✓Dissolve gelatin in water heated to exactly 160-180°F because higher temperatures break down gelatin proteins and reduce gel strength by up to 50%.technique160-180°F
- ✓Add artificial sweetener after cooling the gelatin mixture to below 100°F, as heat can break down some sweeteners and create bitter off-flavors.timingBelow 100°F
