Ingredients
Scale
Liquid Ingredients
- 1 cup green apple juice, cold-pressed if possible
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 to 3 tablespoons raw honey or maple syrup, to taste
Spices and Flavorings
- 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger or 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional, for extra zing)
Gelling Agents
- 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin or 1½ teaspoons agar agar for vegan option
Instructions
- Prepare the Molds: Place silicone gummy molds on a flat tray to ensure easy transfer to the refrigerator.
- Warm the Juice Mixture: In a small saucepan, combine green apple juice, lemon juice, grated ginger, and sweetener. Warm over medium-low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, but do not let the mixture boil to preserve the nutrients and flavors.
- Remove and Cool Slightly: Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool until it is warm but not hot. Strain to remove ginger pieces if you prefer smoother gummies.
- Bloom the Gelatin: In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 1 to 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir. Let it sit for a few minutes until thickened. For the vegan version, do the same with agar agar following packaging directions.
- Incorporate Gelatin: Stir the bloomed gelatin into the warm juice mixture over low heat until completely dissolved. Avoid boiling to keep the gummy texture intact.
- Fill the Molds: Quickly spoon or use a dropper to fill the silicone molds with the mixture, as it will start setting as it cools.
- Chill to Set: Transfer the tray with molds to the refrigerator and chill for 30 to 60 minutes until gummies are fully set and firm.
- Unmold and Store: Carefully remove gummies from molds and store them in an airtight container in the fridge. Consume within 10 days for best freshness and potency.
Notes
- For an extra spicy kick, add a pinch of black pepper or cayenne to the juice mixture before heating.
- For a calming effect, infuse the juice with chamomile or green tea before mixing with gelatin.
- If you don’t have silicone molds, pour the mixture into a parchment-lined dish and chill. Once set, slice into squares to form gummies.
- These gummies can be enjoyed any time of day, whether as a morning digestion aid or a sweet post-meal treat.
