Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) elderberry syrup
  • 1/4 cup (85 g) raw honey
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh orange juice
  • 3 tbsp (about 30 g) unflavored gelatin
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) water
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice (optional)
  • Pinch of cinnamon or ginger (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pour 1/2 cup (120 ml) of cold water into a mixing bowl. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons (about 30 g) of unflavored gelatin evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it absorbs the water and becomes thick and spongy.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (120 ml) elderberry syrup, 1/4 cup (85 g) raw honey, 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh orange juice, and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice if using. Warm gently over low heat, stirring frequently to mix evenly and dissolve the honey completely. Avoid boiling.
  3. Remove from heat once warm (about 110°F or 43°C). Whisk in the bloomed gelatin until fully dissolved and smooth.
  4. Carefully ladle or pour the mixture into silicone gummy molds. Work quickly before it starts to set (about 10 minutes).
  5. Place the molds in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the gummies are firm to the touch.
  6. Gently pop the gummies out of the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will last about 2 weeks.

Notes

Never skip blooming the gelatin to ensure smooth texture. Keep heat low when warming ingredients to preserve nutrients. If gummies are too soft, add more gelatin next time; if too hard, reduce gelatin or increase liquid. For vegan version, substitute gelatin with agar-agar powder (about 1 tablespoon dissolved in hot liquid). Store gummies in airtight container in fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
