Lemon, Ginger & Honey Gummies

These lemon, ginger and honey gummies are super healthy and perfect to keep the bugs at bay when winter season hits. They are super easy to make using real lemon juice and without any sugar. Store bought gummies contain high sugar, artificial flavours and dyes which wreak havoc on the gut.

The lemon, ginger and honey gummies also make a great snack that kids and adults will love which are great for the gut and skin from the added benefit of including a great quality grass fed gelatin.

You don’t need fancy moulds if you haven’t got any. Any container will be do. Once the liquid has set you just slice them up into little squares.

It’s important to add the honey after the mixture has cooled slightly. Raw honey has many beneficial medicinal properties and heating it will destroy the quality of the nutrients and enzymes. As a rule of thumb it’s best to keep honey under 60°C.
