Grass-fed Collagen Recipe

Heat the water

Warm 250 ml filtered water until it is hot but not boiling (around 70–80°C). You can microwave for 60–90 seconds or heat in a kettle and let sit 30 seconds.

Dissolve collagen

Place 2 tablespoons of grass-fed bovine collagen powder into a heatproof mug or small bowl. Pour 60 ml of the hot water over the powder and stir briskly with a spoon or small whisk for 20–30 seconds until the collagen is fully dissolved and there are no lumps.

Add remaining liquids

Add the remaining 190 ml hot water (or 190 ml hot water plus 60 ml almond milk if using the optional creaminess variation) and stir to combine. If using almond milk, you can warm it slightly first to maintain temperature.

Flavor and finish

If desired, stir in 1 teaspoon raw honey or maple syrup for sweetness and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice for brightness. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper (only if using turmeric) and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for warmth. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients.

Adjust and serve

Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon to preference. Serve immediately while warm. If you prefer an iced version, allow to cool slightly, refrigerate until cold, then pour over ice.
