The time will vary by the size of the mold you use for your soda gummies.Carefully peel your gummies out of the molds once they are fully set.

Notes
After your soda gummies are set, store them in an airtight container for up to one week. Be sure to keep them in a cool, dry area as they will melt if they are left out in the sun.
It is important to reduce your soda over the heat until half of it is gone. This will make it more concentrated so that your soda gummies will have a more pronounced soda flavor. If you use soda without reducing it first your recipe likely won't turn out right.
Be sure to make sure that your gelatin powder fully dissolves into your soda, otherwise, the gummies might not set right. In addition, make sure that your soda is still hot when you add the gelatin so it will activate it.
