From Low Carb Yum:

I love throwing a batch together to keep in my fridge for easy snacking all week!

First, brew your tea. (If you’re using pre-made liquid, like fruit juice, skip to step 3)

1. Steep tea bags in hot boiling water for about 6 minutes.

2. Squeeze the tea out of the tea bags, then discard the bags.

3. Pour one cup of tea into a small sauce pan on the stove.

Next, add the gelatin and pour the gummies.

1. Whisk the gelatin and sweetener into the sauce pan.

2. Heat and stir the gelatin mixture over medium heat until the liquid is thin and there are no gelatin clumps.

3. Remove the sauce pan from heat and stir in the fruit extract.

4. Pour the liquid into silicone molds.

5. Place the molds in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to set.

Step Away From the Carbs:

Ingredients

• 0.3 oz packet of sugar free jello, any flavor

• 1 envelope unflavored powdered gelatin, 1 envelope = 0.25 oz/7.4g

• ¼ - ⅓ cup cold water

Instructions

1. Add all three ingredients to a small saucepan, stir well, and cook over a low heat.

2. Cook until all the granules have dissolved - approx 2-3 minutes.

3. Use a jug, squeeze bottle or a spoon to carefully pour the mixture into a silicone mold.

4. Place the filled mold on something firm like a small chopping board (to stop the mold twisting). Let the jello cool then place in the fridge for 30-40 minutes until set.

The Big Man’s World"

Variations

• Make sour gummy bears. Add 1-2 tablespoons of a sugar-free powdered drink mix, like Kool-Aid. If I go this route, I like to toss the bears in granulated sweetener. 

• Give them a health boost. Add 1-2 tablespoons of a sugar-free electrolyte mix (like sugar-free Liquid IV) or unflavored collagen. I made electrolyte gummies the other day and I SWEAR my headache immediately disappeared!

• Make apple cider gummies. Swap ⅓ of the water for raw apple cider vinegar. I find this gives them a more tart flavor–and it helps alleviate nausea and stomach problems.

• Add natural extracts, like lemon extract or vanilla extract, for added flavor.

• Make them vegan. Swap the gelatin for agar agar and refer to the directions on the box for instructions on how to use it. 

• Adjust the sweetness. Taste the gummy bear mixture and add granulated sweetener (I prefer allulose) until it suits your taste buds. 

• Let them chill overnight. If possible, I find letting the bears firm up overnight yields the best texture.
