Tart, bright, and packed with real vitamin C from citrus juice — not ascorbic acid powder. Kids eat these like candy.

Ingredients

1 cup fresh orange juice (about 3-4 oranges, freshly squeezed)
3 tablespoons grass-fed gelatin powder
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons raw honey

Method

Pour 1/2 cup of the orange juice into a saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin evenly over the surface. Let bloom for 5 minutes.
Warm over low heat, stirring gently, until gelatin dissolves completely.
Remove from heat. Stir in the remaining orange juice, lemon juice, and honey.
Pour into silicone molds. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Pop from molds and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
*Variations:**
**Grapefruit-Ginger**: Use grapefruit juice and add 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
**Lemon-Honey**: Use 1/2 cup lemon juice + 1/2 cup water, and increase honey to 3 tablespoons
**Mixed Citrus**: Use a blend of orange, lemon, lime, and grapefruit juices

Notes

Fresh-squeezed juice gives the best flavor and the most vitamin C. Store-bought juice works in a pinch, but choose not-from-concentrate.
The gelatin itself provides amino acids (glycine, proline) that are beneficial — so even the "base" of these gummies is functional.
