TEA INGREDIENTS
1 cup purified water
2 tbsp Hibiscus Flowers (dried)
1 tbsp Rosehips (dried)
GUMMY INGREDIENTS
Raw Honey to taste (start with 1-2 tbsp and add to taste)
1 tbsp Inulin Fibre
4 tbsp grass-fed gelatin protein powder
1/2 cup brewed hibiscus & rosehip tea
+ silicone food-grade molds
DIRECTIONS
Lay silicone moulds onto a flat cutting board (for easier placement in the fridge).
On the stovetop, on low heat, brew the 1 cup water, hibiscus & rosehips in a small pot (to make the tea).
With the lid on, bring the tea to a low simmer for a couple of minutes (2-4), stirring occasionally.
Turn off the heat to let the tea steep for 10-15 minutes. Keep the lid on the pot.
When ready strain the flowers from the tea using a strainer.
Measure 1/2 cup of the strained tea & place in a small pot, back on low heat.
Place all of the remaining ingredients into the pot, EXCEPT the gelatin. Whisk well.
Add the gelatin. Whisk well until smooth. The mixture should be warm but NOT boiling.
Once warm, remove from heat.
Pour mixture into moulds right away as you do not want the mix to set until in the mold. I use a big dropper to make this easier.
Place filled molds in the fridge to set for at least 1 hour.
Store in the fridge, in a glass jar for up to 4-5 days.
Leftover tea and flowers uses:
I drink the extra tea warm or I add it to my water bottle for flavored water.
I save the flowers in a piece of cheesecloth for use in my bath! Hello, tea bath!
