NingXia Red® Jellies Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup NingXia Red
- 1 1/2 teaspoons agar agar powder (gelatin alternative)
- 4 teaspoons honey
- 3 drops Grapefruit Vitality essential oil
- 3 drops Lime Vitality essential oil
- Silicon molds
Instructions
- Combine the NingXia Red, agar agar powder, and honey in a saucepan. Mix with a metal spoon until fully dissolved and heat on medium-high.
- Once boiling, remove from heat immediately and stir in the essential oils. Taste for sweetness. The mixture should be almost too sweet, since the flavors will mellow during cooling.
- Pour the mixture into silicon molds.
- Let your molds cool in the refrigerator for at least an hour until set.
- Keep leftovers in the fridge or a cool place.
- Enjoy!

Sound delicious!! Would the temperature (boiling) change any of the properties of the oils, either in the ningxia or added while still so hot? I thought anything over 125 degrees basically changed the chemical constituents of the oils?
Hi Krissy, As long as you add the oils after removing from the heat, it will be fine. Great question!
Can you just pour these into small cups, like making "jello"?
Just made these with Citrus Fresh Vitality. Our three young children love them! They're definitely more of a "jellies' consistency than a "gummy" consistency that most people are probably thinking. However, we have to hide them or else the kids would eat them all in one sitting so I'm guessing they don't care about the texture!
I'm excited about making my own with OUR oils! Thank you YL.
My grandson loves gummies and I am trying to make my own for him, I have even found natural food coloring for them. Great idea with NingXia Red. More benefits and I love knowing exactly what is in these gummie treats.
Be great for traveling since we can't bring liquid with. Making for my next trip.
These look amazing! Where can I get those molds?
I have seen those on Amazon! I get all mine from Amazon
Can you use gelatin?
Hi Lauren, you can use gelatin if you'd like. Thanks for stopping by!
Love this idea! Do these gummies have to be refrigerated? Also, how long are they good for after making them?
Hi Beatrice, Yes, we would recommend refrigerating the jellies and eating them within a week of making them. Thanks for stopping by with your questions.
