Introduction

Ingredients
- 12 fruit tea bags (strongly brewed)
- 2 cups hot water
- 5 tablespoons powdered gelatin
- 2 tablespoons granulated sweetener of choice (or more, to taste)
- 4 boxes sugar-free Jello
- 4 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
- 2 cups hot water
Instructions
- Step 1: Brew the fruit tea by steeping the 12 tea bags in 2 cups of hot water. Leave until the flavor is very strong, then remove the tea bags.
- Step 2: While the tea is still hot, stir in 5 tablespoons of powdered gelatin and 2 tablespoons of your chosen sweetener until fully dissolved. You can also add food coloring if you want.
- Step 3: For the Jello method, dissolve the 4 boxes of sugar-free Jello in 2 cups of hot water in a heatproof jug. Add 4 tablespoons of unflavored gelatin powder and stir with a fork until completely dissolved.
- Step 4: Using droppers, carefully fill gummy bear or gummy worm molds with the gelatin mixtures.
- Step 5: Place the filled molds in the fridge and chill for 1 to 3 hours until set. The longer they chill, the chewier the gummies will become.
