Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups strong brewed green tea Brew for 5-7 minutes for a rich flavor.
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice Adjust based on taste preference.
- 1/4 cup honey Use local honey for best flavor.
- 2 tablespoons gelatin Ensure it blooms well in cold water before use.
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger Grate for a stronger flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Brew strong green tea by heating water until just off a boil, then pour it over the tea leaves or bags. Let it steep for 5-7 minutes.
- Add fresh lemon juice and honey to the hot tea, stirring until the honey dissolves and the mixture looks glossy.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over a few tablespoons of cold water and let it sit for a minute to bloom.
- Warm the bloomed gelatin gently over a water bath or in short bursts in the microwave until it becomes a clear syrup.
- Stir the warm gelatin into the hot tea mixture until fully blended.
Setting the Gummies
- Pour the mixture into silicone molds or a small baking dish lined with parchment, then chill in the refrigerator for at least two hours until set.
- Once firm, gently pop the gummies from the molds and dust with cornstarch or sugar if sticky.
Serving
- Arrange the gummies on a plate and let everyone choose, ideally alongside a mug of green tea and milk for kids.
Notes
These gummies can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They may taste even better the next day as flavors mature.
