I remember making Jello Jigglers when I was younger. I loved all the colors and then cutting them into shapes with a cookie cutter. Now that I’m learning more about Essential Oils and their benefits, I thought I’d changed it up a little bit.
I was reading a blog by Laurie Neverman and she has a recipe for
gelatin squares using herbs, fruit juice and tea but I thought I’d use a combination
of the two ideas and create an Essential Oil Immune Boosting Square.
Immune Boosting Gelatin Squares
4 envelopes of unflavored gelatin
1 cup cold fruit juice (try to use organic)
3 cups fruit juice
2 TBSP honey
Essential oils of choice
Directions:
Heat 3 cups Fruit juice to boiling (I used apple)
Take off the heat
Sprinkle gelatin over 1 cup cold juice (I used cranberry) in a large bowl.
Let stand 1 minute (it will have the consistency of apple sauce)
Add hot juice to the cold juice and stir till gelatin dissolves
Let stand 2-3 minutes and add your essential oils
I used Cinnamon, Protective Blend and Cardamom - Start with one drop each - and test it as you go. If one drop is okay than add another. Your kids will probably appreciate one drop each.
Pour into a 13X9 inch pan
Refrigerate until firm.
Cut into one inch cubes or use a 2 inch cookie cutter to cut into shapes.
(If you are using a cookie cutter make sure to dip the bottom of the pan into warm water for 15 seconds)
Why did I used Cinnamon, Protective Blend and Cardamom? Cinnamon and Protective Blend helps with the immune system and Cardamom helps with the respiratory system. Ginger would be good with carrot juice, Lemon with Pineapple. Just use your imagination. The colors won’t be as bright as with the box Jello and they will depend on the color juices you use.
These are great lunch box add ons or an after school snack!
Make sure to use only pure essentials oils. How can you find them?
