Dandelion & Honey Gummy Bears
It's incredibly easy to make your own homemade healthy gummy bears, and flavoring them with wild foraged dandelion makes them extra special.
Servings: 160 gummy bears (approximate)
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup dandelion tea made from 1/2 cup petals & 1 heaping cup boiling water, steeped 15 minutes
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup honey I use 1/4 cup and they're just sweet enough
- 3 Tbsp. Vital Proteins Grass Fed Gelatin
- Silicone Gummy Bear Molds
Instructions
- Prepare 1 cup of dandelion petal tea by infusing a heaping cup of boiling water with 1/2 cup of dandelion petals (yellow parts only) for 15 minutes. Strain out the petals.
- Whisk honey into the dandelion tea until dissolved.
- Sprinkle gelatin on top of the tea, one tablespoon at a time, whisking after each addition. Once all the gelatin is added, whisk 1-2 minutes until it's all dissolved. If it's not completely dissolved, gently heat the mixture on the stove at the lowest setting while whisking until dissolved.
- Pour the liquid mixture into silicone gummy bear molds (or molds of your choice) and allow them to set up for at least 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, test one of the gummies and if it's not completely set allow a few more minutes before popping them all out of the molds.
- Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator...I can't say how long they keep, mine only lasted about 15 minutes...
