Apple Cider Immunity Gummies
Notes: talk about a treat upgrade! These homemade gummies are a fun activity (for any age), they taste great, feel like a fun novelty AND they have great immune boosting and gut healing properties. Grass-fed beef gelatin (I got mine from Thrive Market) which is a gut and microbiome healer, very similar to collagen. For this recipe I used small silicone candy molds/gummy molds I got on amazon in some fun shapes, but if you don't have those, you can pour the liquid into silicone ice cube trays or into a square baking sheet and cut into small cubes after the liquid has set. (Here is the link to the set I have, which is so fun for kids: https://amzn.to/3Te5WV7)
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh apple cider juice
- 1 1/2 tbsp grass-fed beef gelatin
- 2 tsp raw honey
Instructions
- Add apple cider to a pyrex measuring cup. Sprinkle the gelatin over the top to "bloom" (aka, hydrate), for 1-2 minutes. If you skip this step, the gelatin will get too clumpy.
- Pour liquid into a small saucepan, add honey and whisk over medium-low heat, until the gelatin dissolves and is smooth.
- Use droppers or a pour-spout to pour liquid into gummy molds (lined on baking sheets or plates for easy carrying into the fridge).
- Place gummy molds in the fridge for at least 15-20 minutes before popping out and storing in a sealed container in the fridge. Can last for 5-7 days in the fridge this way.
