Apple cider vinegar isn’t the most pleasant of supplements to consume, yet it’s touted as a major health food. So how are we supposed to reap the benefits without cringing every time we take a swig? Make apple cider vinegar gummies of course!
Apple cider vinegar gummies are not only easy to make, but they’re delicious, too. Naturally sweetened with fruit juice and maple syrup, these gummies will make anyone (even your picky child) enjoy them without dreading the apple cider vinegar (ACV) aftertaste.
A key ingredient of this gummy recipe is agar agar – a seaweed product (which doesn’t taste like seaweed, surprisingly) that gelatinizes without having to use real animal gelatin (yes, that means this is a plant-based, vegan friendly gummy!). Agar agar, combined with the healing potential of ACV makes this gummy a serious super treat!

Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups 100% organic fruit juice of choice
- 1/2 cup unpasteurized apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp. agar powder
- 1-2 tbsp. maple syrup
Method:
1. Combine the fruit juice and apple cider vinegar in a large saucepan (no heat) and stir well. Sprinkle the agar powder over the liquid and whisk until completely dissolved.
2. Switch on the heat to medium-low so that the mixture comes to a simmer. Whisk again, on and off, for 5 minutes, or until the consistency is thickened and syrup-like (but not quite as thick as honey). Whisk occasionally while the mixture is simmering so that nothing overcooks on the bottom of sides of the saucepan.
3. Once the mixture is done, you can add some maple syrup sweetener if desired. Stir in until dissolved.
4. Fill whatever moulds you are using (ice cube trays work here – silicon is best!), and let chill in a refrigerator for at least one hour until serving. Keep the snacks stored in a fridge until ready to eat.
