Make satisfying, chewy apple cider vinegar gummies at home using agar agar for a perfect spring-back bite. These are a simple, functional snack for gut health.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup filtered water
  • 1/4 cup apple juice concentrate (unsweetened)
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (with the mother)
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar or maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons agar agar powder
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon probiotic powder (dairy-free preferred)

Instructions

  1. Combine the water, apple juice concentrate, apple cider vinegar, and sugar in a small saucepan. Whisk well to dissolve the sugar.
  2. Sprinkle the agar agar powder over the liquid mixture. Let it sit for 5 minutes to hydrate.
  3. Place the saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, whisking constantly. Maintain the boil for 1 to 2 minutes to fully activate the agar agar.
  4. Remove the saucepan from the heat. Let it cool slightly for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The temperature should drop enough so it does not kill the probiotics.
  5. Whisk in the lemon juice and the probiotic powder until fully incorporated. Work quickly as the mixture will start to set.
  6. Pour the liquid immediately into silicone gummy molds.
  7. Place the molds in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the gummies are completely firm.
  8. Carefully remove the homemade gummy bears from the molds. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • For a firmer gummy, increase the agar agar to 2 1/4 teaspoons.
  • If you do not have molds, you can pour the mixture into a shallow, parchment-lined dish and cut it into squares once set.
  • These ACV gummies recipe treats are best consumed within two weeks when stored properly.
