Ingredients
The Wellness Ingredients:
1 cup Water
2 tbsp Fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp Honey
1/2 tsp Ground turmeric
1/4 tsp Ground ginger
2 ½ tbsp Unflavored gelatin powder
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Bloom the Gelatin: Pour 1/2 cup of the cold water into a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin evenly over the top, and let it sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to bloom.
2. Warm the Base: In a small saucepan, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of water, fresh lemon juice, honey, ground turmeric, and ground ginger over medium-low heat. Warm gently until hot (do not let it come to a hard boil).
3. Melt the Gelatin: Add the bloomed gelatin mixture into the warm saucepan. Whisk continuously for 2 to 3 minutes until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the liquid is smooth.
4. Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the warm mixture into silicone gummy molds or a lightly greased 8×8-inch baking dish.
5. Chill & Set: Place the molds or baking dish in the refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes until completely firm and set.
6. Pop & Store: Pop the gummies out of the silicone molds (or slice the baking dish block into neat little squares) and store in an airtight container in the fridge!
Chef’s Tips
Whisk Constantly: Whisking thoroughly while adding the bloomed gelatin ensures you don’t get any clumps in your finished gummies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can I use fresh grated ginger and turmeric instead of ground?
Yes! You can simmer 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger and 1 teaspoon of fresh grated turmeric in the water, then strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve before whisking in the gelatin for an even punchier flavor!
