Ingredients
Scale
Liquid Base
- 1 cup brewed green tea, cooled
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
Gelatin Mixture
- 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin (or agar-agar for vegan option)
- 1/4 cup hot water
Instructions
- Dissolve the gelatin: In a small bowl, whisk the gelatin with hot water until it is fully dissolved. Set this mixture aside to prepare the other ingredients.
- Prepare the tea mixture: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the brewed green tea, fresh lemon juice, honey (or maple syrup), and grated ginger. Stir gently and heat the mixture until it is warm but not boiling to preserve the nutrients and flavors.
- Strain the mixture: Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the liquid through a fine sieve to remove the grated ginger pulp, ensuring a smooth gummy texture.
- Combine gelatin and tea mixture: Slowly whisk the dissolved gelatin mixture into the warm tea mixture until fully incorporated for even setting.
- Set the gummies: Pour the combined liquid into silicone molds or a shallow dish. Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, allowing the gummies to firm up properly.
- Finish and store: Once set, carefully remove the gummies from the molds or cut into small squares if set in a dish. Store the gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week for optimal freshness.
Notes
- Use agar-agar as a vegan alternative to gelatin, but note that it requires boiling and a slightly different setting process.
- Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or maple syrup according to taste.
- For a stronger ginger flavor, increase the amount of grated ginger slightly.
- Ensure green tea is brewed and cooled completely to prevent melting the gelatin when added.
- Store gummies in the refrigerator and consume within a week for best texture and flavor.
