- 0.25 cups Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey or a sugar-free sweetener
- 0.5 teaspoons Lemon zest (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
In a small bowl, pour 1 cup of the diet green tea and sprinkle the gelatin packets evenly over the top. Let the gelatin bloom for 5 minutes.
In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 2 cups of diet green tea over medium heat until it just begins to steam (do not let it boil).
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the bloomed gelatin mixture until fully dissolved.
Add the fresh lemon juice and honey or your preferred sugar-free sweetener to the gelatin mixture. Stir well until combined.
Carefully pour the mixture into individual serving glasses, molds, or a medium-sized glass dish.
Refrigerate the jello for at least 2-3 hours, or until it is completely set.
Before serving, garnish with a sprinkle of lemon zest and a slice of fresh lemon, if desired.
