Simple, foraged, and actually worth making. There’s something satisfying about turning backyard “weeds” into something your family will grab like candy. These dandelion gummies are one of those recipes, easy, inexpensive, and a good way to keep a few seasonal remedies on hand.
They’re lightly sweet, floral, and you can tweak them depending on what you have growing around you.

Welcome to Oceans Bliss Portal! Let’s dive into herbal gummies! 

Dandelion Gummy Bears (Honey Sweetened)

You’ll need a silicone gummy mold (any shape works).

Ingredients
– 1 cup dandelion tea (made from 1/2 cup petals + 1 heaping cup boiling water, steeped 15 minutes)
– 1/4 honey
– 3 Tbsp Agar – a plant based option or gelatine

Instructions:

• Make your tea
• Use yellow dandelion petals only (skip the green parts, they’re bitter).
• Pour boiling water over petals and steep 1 hour. Strain.
• Sweeten
• Whisk in honey while the tea is still warm.
• Add agar or gelatin
  – Sprinkle in one tablespoon at a time, whisking between each.
  – Keep whisking 1–2 minutes until fully dissolved.
  – If needed, warm gently on low heat but don’t boil.
• Pour + set
  – Pour into molds and let set about 2 -4 hours ( I put them in the fridge)
  – Pop them out once firm.

Storage
Keep in the fridge in a sealed container. Best within 1–2 weeks.

Why people make these

Dandelion petals contain antioxidants and have traditionally been used to support digestion and liver function.
Gelatin provides amino acids like glycine, often used for skin, joints, and gut support.
Honey acts as both a sweetener and mild preservative.
It’s not medicine, but it’s a simple way to add healthy fun treats into your day.
