Combine the elderberries, water and spices in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Once boiling reduce the heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes.
Strain the mixture and stir the honey into the liquid. Measure one cup of the syrup for the gummies and let the rest cool before storing in the fridge.
For the gummies:
Stir the warm syrup into the gelatin to activate it. Add the hot water and whisk until smooth. If the gelatin hasn't dissolved, warm the whole mixture until smooth.
Place the silcone molds on a cookie sheet or large flat plate. Drop one dose of Vitamin D into each gummy well, and then carefully pour the syrup mixture into each mold.
Place the cookie sheet and molds in the fridge and chill until firm. Pop the gummies out of the molds and place in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
*Any type of honey works, but I suggest manuka or raw organic honey for additional health benefits
Gummies will last 2-3 weeks if kept airtight in the fridge.
