Instructions

Soak the gelatine in 50 ml of cold water for 10 minutes.
In a saucepan, heat the rest of the water with the sugar and glucose syrup until boiling.
Take off the heat, add the drained gelatine and stir until fully dissolved.
Stir in the citric acid, flavouring and colouring, then mix well.
Pour the syrup into a silicone mould with small cavities or into a tray lined with cling film.
Leave to set at room temperature for 2 hours, then 1 hour in the fridge.
Turn out and cut the gums into small squares, or roll them in granulated sugar.
Store them in an airtight tin at room temperature.
