Another sweet post, these herbal gummies. While I often try to let the vegetable, meat or whatever it is I’m posting about show its own beauty, I feel I must pump grass-fed gelatin up a bit. If I told you eating some of these directly benefits the elasticity of your skin (re: cellulite, though I’m a fan of people loving the stretch mark-y, dimply skin they’re in), strength of your hair, nails and teeth and reduces inflammation of painful, achy joints, would you pop a few penguins down? If I told you it heals your intestinal tract and aides your body in healing its wounds, would you come make a batch with me?

I had never thought about setting herbal teas with gelatin to make gummies… fruit juice yes, I have done that plenty of times. I have even used gelatin to set wine in the past (not for a gummy, I made an “adult” jello as a desert). But not tea.
Great post!

That sounds delicious, too!! These gummies are very mildly flavored, though I have also made lemon/lime with a nice punch of pucker.
