Instructions
1-First, gather all your ingredients and set up your workspace, double-checking measurements like 1 cup of tart cherry juice concentrate to avoid any mix-ups.
2-Next, in a small saucepan, combine the tart cherry juice concentrate, lemon juice, and sweetener, then gently heat it over medium until warm but not boiling this keeps the nutrients intact. Gradually add the gelatin or agar-agar while whisking to dissolve it completely and prevent lumps, creating a smooth mixture that’s the base of your gummies.
3-Once the mixture thickens slightly, take it off the heat and let it cool for a moment before pouring it into silicone molds or a lined tray. Pop it in the fridge for at least 2 hours until the gummies set firmly, giving you that perfect chewy texture.
4-Finally, remove them from the molds and store in an airtight container; they’re ready to enjoy and align with the usage guidance of taking one about 20 minutes before bedtime.
