Ingredients
- 1 cup Elderberry Ginger Infused Sea Moss Gel (Or Plain Sea Moss Gel)
- 1 tbsp Bladderwrack
- 1/2 cup Maple Syrup (can sub with Agave or Honey)
- 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper more or less as desired
- 1/4 cup Lemon, juiced (or Key Lime, juiced)
Agar-Agar Mixture
- 2 tbsp Agar-Agar
- 1/2 cup Elderberry Ginger Liquid Or Plain Alkaline Water
Instructions
- Start with 6 ounces of freshly blended elderberry ginger sea moss gel (recipe linked below) or regular sea moss gel. Add the bladderwrack, maple syrup, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and lemon juice to the sea moss gel in a blender. Blend until the ingredients are fully incorporated. Set Aside.
Activating the Agar-Agar
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add Elderberry Ginger Liquid (see notes below) and agar-agar powder. Stir continuously to remove any chunks. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once the mixture starts to boil, reduce the heat. Then, stir in the sea moss gel mixture until it is fully incorporated and let it come to a low boil, about 2-3 minutes.
- Then, stir in the sea moss gel mixture until it is fully incorporated and let it come to a low boil, about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir the mixture to make sure the sea moss gel mixture and agar-agar are fully incorporated. Remove the mixture from the heat. (The entire process of activating the agar-agar and mixing in the sea moss gel should take no more than 3-5 minutes)
- ***If the mixture is too thick (and cannot be squeezed into the liquid dropper), gradually stir more liquid into the mixture over medium heat until it is fully incorporated and sea moss gel mixture thins out. Start with adding 1/2 cup of liquid (alkaline water, 100% apple juice, or Elderberry Ginger Liquid). If you add more than 1/2 cup liquid (try not to add more than 1 cup liquid), mix in 2 teaspoons of agar agar powder and bring the mixture to a boil for 1-2 minutes. Stir and remove from heat and proceed to the next step.
Making the Sea Moss Gummies
- Move quickly and use the liquid dropper to transfer the sea moss gel mixture into the gummy bear cavities.
- The gummy bears will immediately begin to set. Transfer the gummy bear mold into the fridge and allow them at least 1 hour to fully solidify.
- After the gummies have set, remove the gummies from the mold and transfer them to an airtight mason jar. Store the gummies in the fridge for 2-3 weeks.
Notes
Tips for making the best gummies:
Move Quickly: I really want to emphasize that once you add the sea moss to agar-agar, YOU MUST WORK QUICKLY to transfer the mixture into the molds. Agar-agar sets extremely fast and you want to avoid the mixture solidifying in the saucepan.
***If the mixture is too thick (and cannot be squeezed into the liquid dropper), gradually stir more liquid into the mixture over medium heat until it is fully incorporated and sea moss gel mixture thins out. Start with adding 1/2 cup of liquid (alkaline water, 100% apple juice, or Elderberry Ginger Liquid). If you add more than 1/2 cup liquid (try not to add more than 1 cup liquid), mix in 1-2 tsp of agar agar and bring the mixture to a boil for 1-2 minutes. Stir and remove from heat and proceed to the next step.
Freeze the gummy bear mold you are using before making the gummies if you would like the gummies to set faster.
- Here is the Agar Agar Powder I used: Living Jin Agar Agar Powder
- Here is the gummy bear mold I used (it came with 3 molds and 3 liquid droppers): Silicone Gummy Bear Candy Mold BPA Free.
- Here is the Bladderwrack I use: Cenalga Irish Organic Certified Bladderwrack Flakes
- Use freshly made (homemade) sea moss gel for the best results.
