Homemade gummies with honey and citrus are a healthier alternative to store-bought sweets. They are prepared without refined sugar, artificial colors and preservatives, and combine the refreshing taste of freshly squeezed lemon and orange juice with the healing properties of raw honey.
These candies are good as a quick and healthier sweet for children and adults, and because of the gelatin and honey, they also provide mild immunity and throat support during colder days.
