You can turn elderberry syrup into fun, immune-boosting gummies that both kids and adults enjoy. They combine the cold-fighting benefits of elderberries with the gut-supporting power of gelatin.
You’ll Need:
– 1 cup elderberry syrup (homemade or diluted store-bought)
– ¼ cup gelatin powder
– ½ cup hot (not boiling) water
– 1 tsp coconut oil (for greasing molds)
– Silicone molds or a glass pan
To Make It:
– Lightly grease your molds or pan with coconut oil.
– In a cup, mix ¼ cup of cooled elderberry syrup with gelatin powder.
– Add the hot water and whisk until smooth.
– Stir in the rest of the syrup until evenly mixed.
– Pour into molds and refrigerate for about 2 hours, until firm.
– Remove from molds and store in an airtight container with parchment between layers.
How Much to Take
Kids: 1–2 gummies as needed.
Adults: 3–6 gummies as needed.
Store in the fridge for up to a week.
Why Does It Work?
