Dandelion And Honey Gummy Bears
These homemade Dandelion & Honey Gummy Bears are naturally sweet, soothing, and free from artificial additives—an earthy, healthy twist on the classic chewy snack.
Ingredients
- 1 cup dandelion flowers petals only, no green parts
- 2 cups water
- ½ cup honey
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons gelatin powder
Instructions
- Wash dandelion petals thoroughly to remove dirt or bugs. Use only the yellow parts—discard green stems and bases.
- Add petals and 2 cups of water to a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes until the water turns yellow.
- Let the tea cool slightly. Strain through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. You’ll need about 1 cup of tea.
- Pour the tea back into the saucepan. Add honey and lemon juice. Stir until fully dissolved.
- Sprinkle gelatin over the warm liquid. Let it sit for 1–2 minutes without stirring. Heat the mixture on low, stirring constantly until smooth. Don’t let it boil.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. The mixture should be warm but not hot. Use a dropper or spoon to fill gummy bear molds. Work slowly to avoid air bubbles.
- Refrigerate molds for 1–2 hours until the gummies are firm. Remove from molds and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Best eaten within 2 weeks.
