I honestly can’t remember since i first published this recipe back in 2015, but it was caffeine free. This brand looks good https://amzn.to/4mbl9WO

Do you think this recipe would work in small gummy bear molds? I happen to have them, although my preferred gummy Candy consistency is the one described here (soft, not rubbery).
Thanks!

Can these be packed in a lunch box or do they need to stay refrigerated?

This is one of those recipes where you say to yourself, “Now why didn’t I ever think of that”. You always seem to think outside the box and this recipe is PURE GENIUS! I’ve always liked fruit flavored gummies but all the recipes I’ve seen incorporate fruit juice. Even though the amount is nominal, as a diabetic I try to avoid fruit juice because of the high amount of natural sugar which plays havoc with my glucose levels. So when I saw this recipe on Pinterest I was ecstatic. So simple yet tasty and effective! I was so excited I immediately shared it on my THM forum. As one of your other readers stated I also use Great Lakes grass-fed gelatin so I’ll be getting some added benefits as well and I’m already a huge herbal tea drinker so my pantry is well-stocked with different flavors. In fact, I just heard that Celestial Seasonings has recently come out with a Watermelon Lime that I can’t wait to try. Thanks again for your fertile and God-given imagination. This made me and my taste buds very happy!

thank you for the very nice recipe, I made it today. Great taste but its to soft. How much is 1/3 cup of galatine in grams? I live in Denmark and we dont know about “cups”:-)

Great idea, just make sure the tea doesn’t contain any artificial flavorings and the sweetener is never aspartam but natural sugar substitutes like swerve for eg.

In reply to michelle. Re the Great Lakes Gelatin - do you have to dissolve it in cold water before putting into the warm tea? I have the Great Lakes Gelatin in my pantry because I think it would be good for me, but I have not used it except to add it to my broth.

We are a family of fruit snack lovers (seriously, even me…I can’t help it) – so these are a must-try! They sound fabulous, and I really love that they’re made with tea.

I’d love to try making these at home! You make it look so simple and I’m sure my niece and nephew would love them!

Great idea using tea! I make them all of the time with pure lemon juice. For even greater health benefits you should research Great Lakes grass fed gelatin! It has helped my gut issues so much. I do not work for the company or anything like that, just a friendly suggestion:) Thanks for all of your amazing recipes.

This is such a great idea! I will have to share this with my friend who has a 3 year old daughter who loves fruit snacks but she hates feeding her all that sugar!
