Ingredients

For the Gummies:

• 3/4 cup (180 ml) cold water: For blooming the gelatin.
• 5 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder: Creates the gummy texture.
• 1/2 cup strongly brewed green tea (about 4 tea bags): Rich in antioxidants and provides a subtle earthy flavor.
• 1/3 cup (80 ml) ginger juice: Freshly juiced ginger for a spicy, warming kick.
• 1/4 cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice: Adds tartness and vitamin C.
• 3 tablespoons honey (or to taste): Natural sweetener to balance the tart and spicy flavors.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Brew the Green Tea

1. Boil water and steep 4 tea bags of green tea in 1/2 cup of hot water for about 5 minutes.
2. Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool slightly.

2. Prepare the Gelatin

1. In a small bowl, pour the 3/4 cup of cold water and sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the surface.
2. Let the gelatin bloom for 5–10 minutes, or until it absorbs the water and becomes spongy.

3. Heat the Mixture

1. In a saucepan over low heat, combine the brewed green tea, ginger juice, lemon juice, and honey. Stir gently to dissolve the honey.
2. Add the bloomed gelatin to the saucepan, stirring constantly until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Be careful not to let the mixture boil, as this can affect the gelatin’s setting properties.

4. Pour into Molds

1. Once the mixture is smooth and well-combined, remove it from the heat.
2. Pour the liquid into silicone molds or a shallow baking dish. Use a small measuring cup or squeeze bottle for easy pouring.
3. Let the molds sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to the refrigerator.

5. Chill and Set

• Allow the gummies to chill in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours, or until they are fully set and firm.

6. Remove and Store

1. Carefully pop the gummies out of the molds or cut them into squares if using a baking dish.
2. Store the gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Tips for Success

• Adjust Sweetness: Add more honey or use a sweetener like maple syrup if you prefer sweeter gummies.
