With this homemade lozenge recipe containing all-natural ingredients, you can prepare soft and delicious jelly lozenges that your whole family can safely use!

 

Lozenges, which contain various vitamin elements and are usually supplemented with herbal products, are frequently used as an effective support to protect against the negative effects of winter. In addition, these small tablets provide instant freshness to the body by refreshing the mouth. However, since many types of lozenges on the market may contain medicinal substances, these products must be used carefully and in moderation. Fortunately, with a homemade lozenge recipe, it's possible to create a completely natural alternative!

2. HOW TO MAKE LOZENGES?

To increase the nutritional value of lozenges prepared without added sugar and to make them sweeter, especially for children, you can add honey to the mixture. In addition, to enrich your lozenges visually and divide them into appropriate portions, silicone chocolate molds in different shapes can be ideal. However, if you don't have these molds on hand, you can also use a glass baking dish to freeze the lozenge mixture.

2.1. PREPARING THE MIXTURE

• Squeeze the juice of the orange and lemon and mix them in a glass.

• If the mixture obtained is less than 1/2 cup, add a little drinking water to increase the amount.

• Transfer the prepared fruit juice to a small pot and start heating it over medium heat.

• Once the mixture starts to boil, remove it from the heat and add the powdered gelatin, stirring quickly until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

• Finally, add other products chosen according to preference (Propolis Plus, Apitera Propolis, Apitera Dox, grated fresh ginger, honey and spices) to the mixture and continue stirring until all products are dissolved.

2.2. SHAPING PHASE

• Pour the liquid mixture obtained using all ingredients into silicone molds or a glass baking dish and let it rest in the refrigerator for two hours.

• When your lozenge has solidified enough, remove it from the refrigerator and take it out of its molds. If you chose a glass baking dish for the freezing stage, cut your lozenge into small portions in the desired shape with a knife. That's it!
