Herbal Berry Gummies

Ingredients:

4 Tbsp grass-fed gelatin powder

2 cups cool filtered water, divided

1 cup boiling water

1 Tbsp dried stinging nettle leaf

1 Tbsp dried red raspberry leaf

1 Tbsp dried hibiscus flowers

1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

4 Tbsp raw honey

1/8 tsp Redmond real salt or Celtic sea salt

Directions:

In a saucepan, add 1 cup cool filtered water

Sprinkle gelatin over the water and let it bloom

Combine 1 cup boiling water and dried herbs in a mason jar and let it brew

Meanwhile, add blueberries and remaining 1 cup of cool filtered water to blender

Purée until liquefied

If desired, strain the berry purée through a fine mesh sieve for a smoother, more "jello"-like texture. Or, use the purée as-is, but keep in mind it may have a somewhat grainy texture depending on how powerful your blender is

Set aside purée

Strain brewed tea into the saucepan where the gelatin is

Heat over low to medium heat to completely dissolve the gelatin

Once dissolved, immediately remove from heat

Add lemon juice, salt, honey, and blueberry purée. Stir well to combine

Pour into silicone molds or an 8x8" baking dish

Refrigerate until firm (about 2 to 3 hours), then cut into squares. If using a mold, you may need to put the bottom of the mold in some hot water first to loosen them before removing

Store in an airtight container in the fridge
