Tips to Make Green Tea, Lemon & Ginger Gummies

• Make sure your green tea is fully cooled before mixing it with other ingredients to avoid affecting the texture.
• Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey or maple syrup based on your preference.
• If using agar-agar, follow the package instructions for best results, as it behaves differently than gelatin.
