How to Make Herbal Gummies for Kids Using Our Teas

Getting children to drink herbal tea isn’t always easy especially when they’re dealing with strong flavoursor just aren’t in the mood. That’s why herbal gummies are one of the best ways to make healing fun, gentle, and consistent for kids.

Whether you’re supporting their immune system, calming their nerves, or giving their digestion a little help, turning your loose leaf teas into gummies can make the process simple, sweet, and effective.

And yes everything we use is available on our website.

Why Herbal Gummies?

Herbal gummies let you:

• Turn loose leaf teas into fun, easy to take bites

• Control sweetness with natural ingredients

• Combine multiple herbs in one gummy

• Support children who resist teas or can’t swallow capsules

• Create custom remedies for immunity, sleep, digestion, or parasite cleansing

What You’ll Need

• 1 cup strong-brewed herbal tea (we’ll show you how below)

• 2–3 tbsp grass-fed gelatin (for structure + gut health)

• 1–2 tbsp raw honey or maple syrup (optional sweetener)

• Silicone gummy molds

• Optional: 1 tsp sea moss gel, fruit purée, or a pinch of natural vitamin C powder

Step 1: Brew the Herbal Tea

Choose your herb blend based on what your child needs (see our recipes below).

Use 2–3 tsp of loose-leaf herbs in 1 cup boiling water, cover, and steep 15–20 minutes. For bark based herbs (like Pau d’Arco), simmer gently for 15 minutes instead. Strain well and let cool slightly.

Step 2: Make the Gummies

1. While tea is warm (not hot), add sweetener if using.

2. Sprinkle gelatin evenly over the surface of the tea and let it "bloom" for 2–3 minutes.

3. Gently warm the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Do not boil.

4. Pour into silicone molds.

5. Refrigerate for 2–3 hours until firm.

6. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.
