Ingredients

Scale

Green Tea Mixture

  • 2 cups water
  • 2 green tea bags or 2 tablespoons loose green tea leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey (preferably local)
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh grated ginger or 1/8 teaspoon powdered ginger (optional)

Gelatin

  • 3 tablespoons powdered gelatin
  • 3 tablespoons cold water (for blooming gelatin)

Optional

  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (for floral aroma)
  • Cornstarch or fine sugar for dusting the gummies

Instructions

  1. Brew strong green tea: Heat 2 cups of water to just off boiling. Pour it over your green tea leaves or tea bags and let steep for 5 to 7 minutes until deep colored and warm. Taste and breathe in the steam to appreciate the aroma.
  2. Add lemon juice and honey: While the tea is still hot, stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of honey until the mixture looks glossy and smooth. Add ginger now if using, and vanilla extract if desired.
  3. Bloom the gelatin: Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of gelatin evenly over 3 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl. Let it sit for about a minute to puff and soften, ensuring smooth texture in final gummies.
  4. Dissolve the gelatin: Warm the bloomed gelatin gently in a water bath or microwave in short bursts until it turns into a clear syrup. Stir this syrup thoroughly into the hot tea mixture until fully blended with an even, glassy surface.
  5. Taste and adjust: Take a tiny spoonful to check balance. Add more lemon juice if more brightness is needed, or more honey if sweetness is insufficient. Each spoonful should be balanced and comforting.
  6. Pour into molds: Carefully pour the mixture into silicone molds or a small baking dish lined with parchment paper. Tap the mold gently to release any trapped air bubbles and level the surface.
  7. Chill until firm: Refrigerate the molds for at least 2 hours or until the gummies are set and springy to the touch.
  8. Unmold and rest: Gently pop the gummies out of their molds. If sticky, dust lightly with cornstarch or fine sugar for a cleaner bite, or leave plain.
  9. Serve and savor: Arrange on a dish and enjoy the chewy, bright gummies carrying a gentle warmth and soothing flavor, perfect for sharing with family next to a hot tea or milk.

Notes

  • Use local honey when possible for better flavor and a personal touch.
  • Bloom gelatin evenly for lump-free gummies.
  • Fresh ginger provides a brighter, fresher kick compared to powdered ginger.
  • A touch of vanilla extract adds cozy floral notes but is optional.
  • Store gummies in the refrigerator to maintain their texture and freshness.
  • If gummies are sticky after setting, dust with cornstarch or fine sugar to prevent sticking.
