Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup 100% grape juice (no sugar added – read the ingredients!)
- 8 tsp unflavored gelatin (I use this grass-fed gelatin)
- About 1 Tbsp activated charcoal, pre-measured (I have this kind and ended up opening 10 capsules)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, measure grape juice and gelatin. Slowly bring the heat up to medium-low and whisk together to thoroughly dissolve the gelatin.
- Remove from the heat and add the activated charcoal. Whisk in the activated charcoal, taking care not to make too many bubbles. The charcoal will not dissolve entirely.
- Carefully pour the liquid into the molds and freeze for 10 minutes, or until the liquid has gelled.
- Store in the freezer and dose as desired.
Notes
You will need:
- Gummy molds (I used these, but you can use a 9×13 glass dish as well)
- Whisk (I used this flat whisk)
The longer they freeze, the easier it is to remove from the mold. They need 10 minutes minimum to gel, but I suggest leaving them in the freezer overnight so they’re easier to unmold.
