Ingredients (Makes 30–40 Gummies)

• 1 cup water
• 1 cup fresh orange juice or lemon water (optional for more citrus flavor)
• 2–3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 tbsp honey (add 1 extra tbsp if you prefer sweeter gummies)
• 1 tbsp ground turmeric
• ½ tsp ground ginger (optional but boosts warmth & digestion)
• ⅛ tsp black pepper (helps your body absorb turmeric)
• 3 tbsp gelatin (grass-fed recommended)
• ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional, for a smooth flavor)

Instructions

1. Warm the Base

In a small saucepan, combine:

• Water
• Lemon juice
• Optional orange juice
• Turmeric
• Ginger
• Black pepper

Heat on low only, stirring gently. Warm the mixture for 2–3 minutes—avoid boiling because high heat reduces the natural nutrients in lemon and turmeric.

2. Add Honey

Remove the pot from heat and wait 1 minute so the mixture is warm but not hot.
Whisk in the honey until fully dissolved. Adding honey at a cooler temperature keeps its natural enzymes and antioxidants intact.

3. Bloom the Gelatin

Slowly sprinkle the gelatin over the warm liquid while whisking continuously.
Let it rest for 1 minute to “bloom,” then whisk again until smooth and fully melted. This step is key to getting firm, springy gummies without graininess.

4. Pour Into Molds

Carefully pour the mixture into silicone molds (bears, hearts, or simple squares) or into a shallow glass dish.

5. Chill

Refrigerate for 2 hours or until fully set.

6. Unmold

Pop gummies out of the molds, or if using a dish, slice into small cubes.

Storage

Store gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
They can also be frozen and thaw instantly in seconds.
