Honey Lemon Turmeric Gummies

Ingredients

1 cup Water
2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp Raw honey (or a natural liquid sweetener)
1/2 tsp Ground turmeric
1/4 tsp Ground ginger
2 ½ tbsp Unflavored gelatin
Optional: A tiny pinch of black pepper (to help the body absorb the turmeric)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Bloom the Gelatin

Pour 1/2 cup of the water into a small bowl. Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin evenly over the surface of the water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to “bloom” (it will become thick and wrinkled).

2. Heat the Mixture

In a small saucepan, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of water, turmeric, and ginger. Heat over medium-low heat until it is warm and the spices are well incorporated. Do not let it boil.

3. Combine

Add the bloomed gelatin into the warm saucepan. Stir constantly for 2–3 minutes until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the liquid is smooth. Remove the pan from the heat.

4. Add Fresh Ingredients

Once the mixture has cooled slightly (but is still liquid), stir in the fresh lemon juice and the honey. Adding the honey at a lower temperature helps preserve its natural properties.

5. Mold and Set

Pour the liquid into silicone candy molds or a small glass container lined with parchment paper. If you see any bubbles on top, you can gently pop them with a toothpick.

6. Chill

Place the molds in the refrigerator for at least 1 to 2 hours, or until the gummies are completely firm to the touch.

7. Slice and Store

If you used a glass container, lift the block out and slice it into small cubes. Pop the gummies out of the silicone molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Quick Tip

If you prefer a “sour” gummy, you can add an extra tablespoon of lemon juice or a tiny pinch of citric acid to the mixture before pouring it into the molds.
