Step 1

Pour water into a shallow dish. sprinkle gelatin evenly over the water and let it absorb for 5 minutes

Step 2

Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir and microwave for another 5 seconds if needed to melt fully. You can tell it's melted when you can't see any grains of gelatin anymore.

Step 3

Let sit for 5 minutes and bubbles will rise to the surface and create a white foam. Skim this foam off the surface with a spoon and discard

Step 4

Add metallic dust to the melted gelatin and stir

Step 5

Pour gelatin onto a large sheet of plastic wrap and use a pastry brush to smooth it out and holes that develop. As the gelatin cools it will be easier to smooth. Don't worry if it's not perfect, we're going to grind it up anyway

Step 6

Let the gelatin dry overnight. It might start peeling up on it's own or you may have to peel it up from the plastic to release it.

Step 7

Break it up or cut it into pieces.

Step 8

Place into a spice grinder or coffee grinder or even a food processor until it is very fine.

Step 9

Can use on anything edible!
