As the winter months approach, keeping our immune systems strong becomes a top priority—especially for families with little ones. As a mom myself, I started making theseT homemade immunity gummies to support the health of my little ones. And if we are being honest, myself too. We all know what kind of stuff our kids bring home to share with us! Say hello to a natural, tasty gummy you and your kids will love!

Why Choose Homemade Immunity Gummies?

Commercial immunity supplements often contain added sugars, artificial flavors, and preservatives. By making your own gummies, you control the ingredients and can ensure they’re nutritious and delicious. This recipe is packed with vitamin C, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a great addition to your family’s health routine during cold and flu season.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 cup orange juice: Rich in vitamin C, orange juice helps boost your immune system and adds a delicious flavor.
• 1/4 cup lemon juice: Another excellent source of vitamin C, lemon juice also provides a refreshing tang that balances the sweetness of the gummies.
• Homemade Immunity Gummies cup ginger tea: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, ginger helps soothe the digestive system and can ward off illness.
• 3 tbsp manuka honey: This powerful honey is not only a natural sweetener but also has antimicrobial properties that can help fend off infections.
• 7 tbsp grass-fed gelatin: A natural thickening agent, gelatin is rich in collagen and can support gut health.
• 1 tsp vitamin C powder: Additional vitamin C can provide an extra immune boost.
• 1/2 tsp Jigsaw Cod Liver Oil: Packed with Vitamins A and D plus omega-3s can provide an extra immune boost.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Ginger Tea: Start by brewing a cup of strong ginger tea. You can either use fresh ginger or pre-packaged ginger tea bags. Allow it to cool slightly.
2. Mix the Juices: In a mixing bowl, combine the orange juice and lemon juice. This citrus blend will add a vibrant flavor to your gummies.
3. Combine Ingredients: Gradually whisk in the ginger tea to the juice mixture. Ensure the tea is not too hot to avoid denaturing the gelatin.
4. Sweeten with Honey: Add the manuka honey to the mixture and stir well until it dissolves completely.
5. Add Gelatin and Vitamin C: Sprinkle the grass-fed gelatin over the mixture. Let it sit for a few minutes to bloom. Remove from heat and then add the vitamin C powder and whisk until everything is fully combined and smooth.
6. Mold the Gummies: Pour the mixture into gummy molds. If you don’t have molds, you can use a small baking dish lined with parchment paper and cut them into squares once set.
7. Chill and Set: Place the molds in the refrigerator for about 2-3 hours or until the gummies are firm.
8. Enjoy: Once set, pop the gummies out of the molds and store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They should last for up to two weeks.

Tips for Making the Best Gummies

• Flavor Variations: Feel free to experiment with different fruit juices, like pineapple or grape, for a unique twist.
• Storage: Keep gummies in the fridge to maintain their texture and freshness.
• Serving Size: Enjoy 1-2 gummies daily as part of your immune-boosting routine.
