Description
Green tea, lemon & ginger gummies blend wellness with delightful chewiness. Nourishing ingredients create a refreshing snack you’ll savor for natural energy and immune support.
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons (75 grams or 2.65 oz) unflavored gelatin powder
- ¾ cup (180 milliliters or 6 fl oz) cold water
- ½ cup (120 milliliters or 4 fl oz) strongly brewed green tea
- ⅓ cup (80 milliliters or 2.7 fl oz) fresh ginger juice
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters or 2 fl oz) fresh lemon juice
- honey, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Brew Infusion: Steep green tea leaves with fresh ginger in hot water for 5-10 minutes, then strain to create a smooth, aromatic base liquid.
- Gelatin Preparation: Sprinkle gelatin powder over water, allowing it to bloom. Warm gently while whisking until the mixture becomes a seamless, translucent liquid.
- Flavor Fusion: Blend the strained tea with dissolved gelatin, incorporating freshly squeezed lemon juice and honey. Stir thoroughly to create a harmonious, vibrant mixture with balanced sweetness.
- Molding and Setting: Pour the liquid into silicone molds or a parchment-lined dish, ensuring even distribution. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until the gummies achieve a firm, jelly-like consistency.
- Serving and Storage: Carefully remove gummies from molds or slice into uniform cubes. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, preserving their delicate texture for up to one week.
Notes
Optimize Steeping Time: Steep green tea and ginger between 5-7 minutes for balanced flavor intensity without bitter undertones, preventing over-extraction that might create harsh taste notes.
Gelatin Precision: Bloom gelatin powder slowly and uniformly, avoiding clumping by sprinkling evenly across water surface, ensuring smooth texture without graininess in final gummy consistency.
Honey Balancing Trick: Add honey incrementally while tasting, understanding different honey varieties offer varied sweetness levels – raw honey provides deeper complexity compared to processed alternatives.
Chilling Strategy: Use shallow, wide containers for faster setting and more uniform gummy texture, allowing quicker cooling and preventing potential gelatin separation during refrigeration process.
