Once you can see all ingredients have been dissolved completely and liquid looks thick, remove from heat.

Using a liquid dropper, start squirting acv mixture into your gummy molds.

Allow liquid to completely cool-off. Once it has completely cooled down, place molds in refrigerator and refrigerate for at least 2 hours so that they can firm up.

Carefully remove gummies from fridge. Gently pop gummies out of mold and place them in a mason jar or air-tight container. Take 2-3 gummies a day and store the rest in the fridge for up to 3-4 weeks.
Recipe Notes
Tips and Substitutions:
-
- Use all organic ingredients if possible- It will make your gummies completely organic.
- Only simmer acv mixture and don't let it get to a boil- You only need to simmer the ingredients enough so that they get dissolved. You don't want liquid to get to a boil. Too much heat will start to kill-off some of the natural nutrients the ingredients in this recipe have to offer.
- Agar powder sets more as it cools-down- It will set even more in the refrigerator and gummies will firm up.
- Switch up your juice- You can use any other juice you prefer over apple or if you have some in hand. Other good juices to use in this recipe are cherry, pomegranate, or pear.
- Substitute for agar powder- If you don't need these gummies to be vegetarian, you can use gelatin. If you want to keep these vegetarian friendly use corn starch.
- Substitute for honey- You can use maple syrup. This will also make these gummies vegan friendly!
