Lemon, Ginger, and Honey Immune Boosting Gummies
Ingredients
1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 4-5 lemons)
2 cups water, divided

1½ teaspoons freshly grated ginger

3 tablespoons honey
Method

Put one cup filtered water, lemon juice, and ginger in a small pot and bring to the boil. Simmer five minutes.

Pour the remaining cup of water into a bowl. Sprinkle gelatin into the water and leave to bloom.

Strain the ginger bits and reserve lemon and ginger mixture. Add the bloomed gelatin mixture into the ginger-lemon water and whisk until completely dissolved and free of lumps.
Step 4
Stir in the honey. Add more if it’s not sweet enough for your liking.
Step 5
Pour into moulds or into a glass/ceramic dish. Pop into the fridge until set.
Step 6
Enjoy! My kids loved them!
*I had a bit of the lemon, honey, ginger gummy mixture left over so I decided to do a berry version. I simmered ½ cup frozen mixed berries for 5 minute and then pureed it. I added the berry puree to lemon, honey and ginger liquid and poured into a container to set. The berries were a great addition and my kids gobbled them up!
