Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons green tea leaves (or 2 green tea bags)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/4 cup honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon agar agar powder (or gelatin for non-vegan)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  • Brew the tea: In a small saucepan, bring 1/4 cup of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the green tea leaves or tea bags and steep for 5-7 minutes. Strain out the tea leaves or remove the tea bags.
  • Prepare the ginger mixture: In another saucepan, combine the lemon juice, grated ginger, honey (or maple syrup), and a pinch of salt. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally until the ginger is softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Mix the agar agar: In a separate small bowl, dissolve the agar agar powder (or gelatin) in 1/4 cup of cold water. Then, add this mixture to the ginger and lemon mixture. Stir well to combine.
  • Combine tea and ginger mixture: Slowly pour the brewed green tea into the ginger mixture while stirring. Allow it to simmer over low heat for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
  • Set the chews: Pour the combined mixture into a silicone mold or a lined dish. Allow it to cool to room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator to set for at least 2 hours.
  • Cut into chews: Once set, cut the mixture into small, bite-sized chews. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

  • For a stronger tea flavor, use more green tea leaves or add more steeping time.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or a sugar alternative.
  • Agar agar gives a firmer, vegan-friendly texture, while gelatin provides a softer chew.
