#### Step 1: Prepare the Green Tea
1. Boil **1/2 cup of water** in a small saucepan or kettle.
2. Once the water reaches a boil, pour it over the **green tea bags** (or loose-leaf green tea in a tea infuser) and let it steep for about 3-4 minutes.
3. Remove the tea bags or infuser and allow the tea to cool slightly.
#### Step 2: Dissolve the Gelatin
1. While the tea is cooling, in a small bowl, pour the **1/2 cup of cold water** and sprinkle the **gelatin powder** over the surface. Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to “bloom” (absorb the water and soften).
2. After 5 minutes, heat the bloomed gelatin gently over low heat, stirring occasionally until it dissolves completely.
#### Step 4: Mold the Gummies
1. Carefully pour the mixture into **gummy molds**. You can find silicone molds in various fun shapes and sizes, or you can use a standard ice cube tray if you don’t have molds.
2. Make sure to pour the liquid evenly into each mold. The mixture should fill about 12-15 molds depending on the size of your molds.
#### Step 5: Chill and Set
1. Place the molds in the refrigerator and allow them to set for **2-3 hours**, or until they become firm and easy to remove from the molds. If you’re in a hurry, you can also place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes to speed up the process.
### Tips for the Perfect Green Tea, Lemon & Ginger Gummies
– **Adjust the flavor**: If you prefer a more pronounced ginger flavor, you can add more grated ginger or a little extra ginger powder. For a more subtle ginger kick, stick to the 1 teaspoon.
– **Sweeten to taste**: Feel free to use other sweeteners like **maple syrup** or **stevia** if you prefer something different from honey. Just remember to adjust the sweetness to your liking.
– **Vegan option**: If you’re following a vegan diet, substitute the **gelatin** with **agar-agar**, a plant-based alternative. Follow the package instructions for agar-agar since it can vary in strength compared to gelatin.
– **Add a superfood boost**: For an extra nutrient boost, try adding a tablespoon of **matcha** powder or **spirulina** to the mix for an added antioxidant punch.
– **Make them extra fun**: Use different colored molds to make your gummies look more visually appealing, or add some zest by incorporating other fruits like **berries** or **orange zest** into the mix.
