Collagen Drink
Method
Collagen Drink
Warm and Dissolve
Heat 8 oz of water until hot but not boiling (around 140–160°F / 60–71°C). Pour the hot water into a heatproof cup or small bowl.
Add 2 tbsp of grass-fed bovine collagen powder to the hot water. Stir vigorously for 20–30 seconds with a small whisk or spoon until the powder is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Stir in 1 tsp raw honey or maple syrup and 1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice until incorporated. These balance flavor and help mask any natural collagen taste.
Optional: For a creamier texture, add 1 tsp unsalted grass-fed butter or ghee and whisk until melted and emulsified.
Optional: Sprinkle 1 tsp ground cinnamon on top or whisk it in for warmth and extra flavor.
If you prefer a cooler drink, add 2 oz cold water or a few ice cubes and stir gently to reach your desired temperature.
