When it has softened, heat the water gently, stirring till the gelatin has dissolved. Take off the heat and add the honey and coconut oil, stirring till dissolved. If you are adding an extra flavourings, add them at this stage. When the mix has cooled down to body temperature, whisk in the cod liver oil. Pour into a tray lined with baking paper, and put into the fridge. When it&#8217;s set, cut into 24 pieces. Each is equivalent to about 1 tsp cod liver oil, a std adult dose. Cut smaller for kids.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">Nadine&#8217;s\u00a0original\u00a0&#8211; Jaffa<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">1 cup water<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">4 Tbs <a href=\"http:\/\/www.naturefoods.co.nz\/other-foods\/gelatin\/greatlakes-beef-gelatin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gelatin<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">12 Tbs honey<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">4 tsp coconut oil<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">4 Tbs orange fermented Cod liver oil<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">4 Tbs chocolate Royal<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">Chocolate cinnamon<\/span><\/h4>\n<div><span style=\"font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;\">Replace the orange with cinnamon, and can also add an extra tsp of raw cacao powder.
