Print Recipe

A gentle, kid-friendly gummy recipe combining elderberry syrup and echinacea tincture for immune support. Soft, chewy, and naturally sweetened, these gummies are a tasty alternative to traditional supplements.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) elderberry syrup (homemade or store-bought, no added sugars preferred)
  • 3 tablespoons (about 30 g) unflavored, grass-fed gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons (40 g) raw honey (can substitute with maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) echinacea tincture (alcohol-free preferred)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) filtered water

Instructions

  1. Pour 1/2 cup (120 ml) filtered water into a mixing bowl. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons (30 g) of unflavored gelatin evenly over the surface. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until gelatin blooms and becomes spongy.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup (240 ml) elderberry syrup, 2 tablespoons (40 g) raw honey, and 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice. Warm gently over low heat, stirring occasionally until honey dissolves and mixture is warm but not boiling (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Remove syrup mixture from heat. Quickly whisk the bloomed gelatin into the warm syrup until fully dissolved and smooth.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon (5 ml) echinacea tincture off heat to preserve benefits.
  5. Pour the mixture into silicone gummy molds quickly before gelatin sets (within 10-15 minutes).
  6. Refrigerate molds for at least 2 hours until gummies are soft but hold their shape.
  7. Gently unmold gummies and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Use fresh gelatin for best setting results. Do not overheat syrup to preserve nutrients. Add echinacea tincture off heat to maintain its benefits. Adjust gelatin amount to achieve preferred gummy firmness. Store gummies refrigerated and consume within 2 weeks. For vegan option, substitute gelatin with agar-agar powder (1 tablespoon) but expect firmer texture.
