Green Apple Ginger Zing Gummies
Tart, tangy, and lightly spicy, these DIY gummies blend green apple, ginger, lemon, and a touch of honey into a nourishing treat that supports digestion and wellness—perfect for a feel-good snack anytime.
Ingredients
- 1 cup green apple juice cold-pressed if possible
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger or 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 to 3 tablespoons raw honey or maple syrup to taste
- 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin or 1½ teaspoons agar agar for vegan option
- 1 pinch cayenne optional, for extra zing
Instructions
- Place silicone gummy molds on a flat tray for easy transfer to the fridge.
- In a small saucepan, combine green apple juice, lemon juice, ginger, and sweetener. Warm over medium-low heat for 5 minutes (do not boil).
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly until warm but not hot. Strain to remove ginger pieces if desired.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1–2 tablespoons of water and stir until thickened.
- Stir bloomed gelatin into the warm juice mixture over low heat until fully dissolved. Do not boil.
- Quickly fill silicone molds using a spoon or dropper. The mixture will begin to set as it cools.
- Chill molds in the fridge for 30–60 minutes until fully set.
- Remove gummies from molds and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Use within 10 days.
Notes
For extra heat, add a pinch of black pepper or cayenne. For a calming effect, infuse the juice with chamomile or green tea. Don’t have molds? Use a parchment-lined dish and slice into squares. These gummies are perfect any time of day—from a morning digestion boost to a sweet post-meal treat.
