Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 5 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
- ½ cup strongly brewed green tea
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) ginger juice
- ¼ cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice
Liquid Base:
- ¾ cup (180 ml) cold water
Optional Sweetener:
- Honey, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the gelatin foundation by sprinkling gelatin powder over cold water in a saucepan. Let the mixture rest and hydrate, creating a smooth base for the chews that prevents lumpy textures.
- Create an intense green tea concentrate by steeping tea bags in boiling water. Remove the bags after 3-5 minutes to extract maximum flavor without introducing bitterness.
- Merge the gelatin base with brewed green tea, vibrant ginger juice, and zesty lemon juice in the saucepan. Apply gentle heat while stirring continuously, ensuring complete gelatin dissolution without compromising the delicate ingredient profiles.
- Incorporate honey for enhanced sweetness if desired, blending thoroughly into the warm liquid mixture.
- Transfer the infused liquid into parchment-lined molds or a flat baking dish, distributing evenly to create uniform chews.
- Refrigerate the mixture for approximately two hours, allowing the gelatin to solidify and develop a firm, chewy consistency.
- Once set, remove from refrigeration and slice into bite-sized pieces. Store in an airtight container to maintain texture and freshness.
Notes
- Energy-boosting chews packed with antioxidants from green tea and healing properties of ginger and lemon.
