Ingredients
Scale
Proteins and Stabilizers:
- 5 tablespoons (75 grams) unflavored gelatin powder
Liquid Base:
- ¾ cup (180 milliliters) cold water
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) strongly brewed green tea
Flavor Ingredients:
- ⅓ cup (80 milliliters) fresh ginger juice
- ¼ cup (60 milliliters) fresh lemon juice
- Honey, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Craft a robust green tea infusion by steeping tea leaves in hot water, allowing fresh ginger to meld its zesty essence into the liquid for 5-10 minutes. Carefully strain to remove ginger fragments, ensuring a smooth base.
- In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin powder over water, permitting it to hydrate and bloom for several moments. Gently warm the mixture, whisking consistently until gelatin dissolves completely and transforms into a silky liquid.
- Extract the brewed tea from the strainer and combine with the dissolved gelatin. Introduce freshly squeezed lemon juice, creating a vibrant fusion of flavors. Drizzle honey to balance the brew’s intensity, adjusting sweetness to personal preference.
- Transfer the liquid mixture into silicone molds or a parchment-lined shallow dish, ensuring even distribution. Carefully place in the refrigerator, allowing the concoction to solidify and set for approximately 1-2 hours.
- Once the gummies have reached a firm consistency, carefully extract them from molds or slice into uniform cubes if using a baking dish. Preserve the delicate treats in a sealed container within the refrigerator, maintaining freshness for up to one week.
Notes
- Experiment with different tea strengths to customize the intensity of green tea flavor, using more or less brewed tea depending on personal preference.
- Customize sweetness levels by gradually adding honey or alternative sweeteners like agave or stevia, tasting as you mix to achieve perfect balance.
- Use fresh, high-quality ginger for maximum flavor infusion and consider grating it finely to extract more intense spicy notes into the tea base.
- For dietary modifications, substitute regular honey with maple syrup or coconut nectar to make the recipe vegan-friendly and accommodate different nutritional needs.
