Hey my friend! Here’s your gummy recipe – hope you all love them!
Be Well Gummies
These delicious gummies are nutrient-packed, immune-boosting, and gut-friendly for the whole family to enjoy daily. Kids absolutely love them (that’s always a win) and they are super fun to make too!
Prep time – 15 minutes
Makes approx 18 large gummies
I used 3 trays of moulds with 6 holes each.
INGREDIENTS
½ cup just boiled water
8-10 sprigs of fresh thyme
2 tbsp gelatin (I prefer organic)
½ cup orange juice (about 2 oranges)
¼ cup manuka honey / raw honey
½ tsp vitamin c + zinc powder (see my post)
Tiny pinch of sea salt
METHOD
Place fresh thyme in a small saucepan with ½ cup just boiled water and simmer over a medium-high heat for 5 minutes, covered with a lid.
Remove from the heat and allow it to steep for a further 5 minutes.
There will be about ¼ cup of water left. If there is slightly less, add a touch more water, if there is slightly more, discard the remaining liquid.
Remove the thyme and whisk in the gelatin, make sure all the gelatin has dissolved (you may need to reheat for a further minute while whisking if necessary until all of the gelatin has dissolved). Remove from the heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Juice the orange and pour it into the gelatin mixture along with the honey and salt if using, and stir to combine.
Once it’s cooled to warm, add the vitamin c/zinc powder (if using). There will be some froth come to the surface, spoon this off and discard it. Or pour the gummy mixture through a fine sieve and into a little jug or small teapot. Anything with a spout is fine.
Place your moulds onto a tray that will fit in your fridge, it’ll fill between two and three depending on the size of your moulds. Pour carefully into the moulds from a wee jug.
Refrigerate for 2-3 hours or freeze for 30-45 minutes. Carefully pop the gummies out of the moulds and store in a clean, airtight jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. One or two a day is great for kids.
I got the moulds from my local organic store, but you can find them online really easily (there are loads of affordable options). And we used Metagenics Vitamin C + Zinc powder — one of the best out there. Me and the boys take it daily (just give it a quick google if you want to find it online). Also, the organic gelatin add its own magic — it’s amazing for gut health, skin, hair, and helps those little immune systems stay strong.
Yay! If you want to preorder Nourish now, it’s a good time because the deluxe packs (with the measuring spoons) are nearly gone. Click here to preorder.
