Ingredients:

• 1 cup water or fruit juice (e.g., orange, pomegranate, or apple juice for flavor)
• 2 tablespoons Ashwagandha powder (organic, high-quality)
• 2-3 tablespoons gelatin powder (for vegan, use agar-agar)
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon powder (optional, for added health benefits and taste)

Instructions:

Prepare the Base:

Heat the water or fruit juice over low heat in a small saucepan until warm (do not boil). Add the Ashwagandha powder to the liquid and whisk until fully dissolved.

Add Sweeteners and Flavors:

If using, stir in honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and cinnamon powder. Adjust sweetness to your preference.

Incorporate Gelatin/Agar-Agar:

Gradually sprinkle gelatin powder (or agar-agar) over the liquid while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Keep stirring over low heat until the gelatin is fully dissolved. The mixture will thicken slightly.

Mold the Gummies:

Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Pour the mixture into silicone gummy molds or a shallow dish lined with parchment paper. Tap the molds gently to release air bubbles.

Set and Store:

Place the molds in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or until the gummies are firm. Once set, pop the gummies out of the molds or cut them into squares if using a dish.

Store Properly:

Transfer this to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Tips: You can experiment with different juices or add a splash of lemon juice for a tangy kick. Add a pinch of turmeric or adaptogens like maca powder to make the gummies more nutrient-dense. Enjoy your homemade Ashwagandha gummies as a tasty and convenient way to incorporate this adaptogenic herb into your daily routine!
