### Instructions
#### 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 3: Combine Ingredients
1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the **steeped green tea**, **fresh lemon juice**, **grated ginger** (or ginger powder), and **honey**. Stir until well combined. Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more honey if you like a sweeter gummy.
2. Slowly pour in the dissolved gelatin mixture, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. The gelatin helps give these gummies their chewy texture and allows the flavors to set together.
#### 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.
#### Step 6: Enjoy!
Once your **Green Tea, Lemon & Ginger Gummies** have set, pop them out of the molds and enjoy! You can store any leftover gummies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, though we doubt they’ll last that long!
### 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.
