Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Bloom the Gelatin
Pour ½ cup of the water into a bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface and let sit for 5–10 minutes until it absorbs the liquid and becomes spongy.
This step ensures smooth, lump-free gummies.
Step 2: Heat the Liquid Base
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine:
-
Remaining ½ cup water
-
Lemon juice
-
Honey
-
Turmeric
-
Ginger
Whisk gently until warm and fully blended. Do not boil—high heat can reduce the benefits of honey and lemon.
Step 3: Add the Gelatin
Add the bloomed gelatin to the warm mixture. Whisk continuously until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Remove from heat immediately.
Step 4: Pour into Molds
Using a dropper or spouted cup, carefully pour the mixture into silicone molds. If you don’t have molds, pour into a shallow, lined dish.
Step 5: Chill & Set
Refrigerate for 1–2 hours, or until completely firm.
Once set, gently remove gummies from molds or cut into cubes.
