Homemade Elderberry Gummy Vitamins

01Method

1. 1

   Place elderberries, distilled water, rosehips, hibiscus flowers, ginger, cinnamon stick, and cloves into a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let simmer, stirring from time to time, for about 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Pour the mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing the berries to extract all liquid. Discard the solids. Return the strained liquid to the saucepan over low heat. Scatter the gelatin over the surface and whisk until fully dissolved. Take off the heat and allow to cool until warm but not hot. Stir in the honey or pureed strawberries until well combined.

3. 3

   Immediately transfer the mixture into silicone molds of your choice or into a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking pan.

4. 4

   Chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 30 minutes. Pop gummies out of the molds or cut into pieces and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
