5. Whisk together again before pouring, then pour mixture into silicone mold and place in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Qualities

• Texture: Chewy
• Scent Level: 1/10
• Spice Level: 0/10

Tips

• Both packets of gelatin powder should be added at the same time because the gelatin sets/hardens quickly and the longer you whisk the liquid, the quicker it cools.
• Water can be replaced with any other liquid such as fruit juice, tea, or bone broth.
• Add more liquid to achieve a soft gelatin texture (add up to 2 cups water, though this will not work in bite sized molds, a large dish or mold will be needed).
• Turmeric can be omitted. Other ingredients can be infused to create a unique taste, such as freshly torn mint leaves or ginger root. Do not use dry seasonings as they will not dissolve/mix and leave a layer on the base of the gummy.
• Honey can be adjusted as needed if a sweet taste is desired, or it can be substituted with another sweetener such as stevia, sugar, or monk fruit.
