How to Make Cannabis Gummies the Right Way



How to Make Cannabis Gummies the Right Way. Are you tired of buying overpriced cannabis gummies from dispensaries? Well, why not try making your own at home? Making cannabis gummies is easier than you think, and the best part is, you can customize the potency and flavors to your liking. In this blog, we’ll go over everything you need to know about making cannabis gummies at home. Before we dive in, let’s go over some of the benefits of making your own cannabis gummies. First and foremost, it’s much cheaper than buying them from a dispensary. Plus, you have complete control over the potency and flavors, so you can tailor them to your preferences. And let’s not forget the satisfaction of making your own edibles – it’s a fun and rewarding experience that you can share with friends. Now, let’s get started on how to make cannabis gummies. Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients To make cannabis gummies, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup of fruit juice (orange or pineapple works well)

  • 1/4 cup of cold water

  • 1/4 cup of corn syrup

  • 1 package of gelatin

  • 1/4 tsp of citric acid

  • 1/4 tsp of flavor extract (optional)

  • 1 gram of cannabis concentrate (oil or wax)

You’ll also need a gummy mold, which you can purchase online or at a local craft store. Make sure to choose a mold that has the size and shape you want for your gummies. Step 2: Decarboxylate Your Cannabis Concentrate Before you can use your cannabis concentrate in the gummy recipe, you need to decarboxylate it. Decarboxylation is the process of heating cannabis to activate the THC, making it more potent and bioavailable. Continue with how to make cannabis gummies. To decarboxylate your cannabis concentrate, preheat your oven to 240°F. Spread the concentrate out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 30-40 minutes. Make sure to keep an eye on it, as you don’t want it to burn. Step 3: Infuse Your Cannabis Concentrate Once your concentrate is decarboxylated, you can infuse it into the gummy mixture. In a small saucepan, combine the fruit juice, cold water, and corn syrup. Heat over medium heat until the mixture comes to a simmer. Add the gelatin and stir until it’s completely dissolved. Then, add the citric acid and flavor extract (if using) and stir to combine. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add your decarboxylated cannabis concentrate. Whisk until the concentrate is fully incorporated into the mixture. Step 4: Fill Your Gummy Molds Using a dropper or a small spoon, fill each cavity of the gummy mold with the mixture. Make sure to fill them to the top so you get full-sized gummies. If you have leftover mixture, you can pour it into a small dish and make a cannabis-infused fruit snack. Step 5: Refrigerate Your Gummies Once your molds are filled, place them in the refrigerator to set. This should take about 30 minutes. Once they’re set, remove them from the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Congratulations, this is how to make cannabis gummies at home! Tips for Making Perfect Cannabis Gummies

  • Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the mixture. The ideal temperature is between 160-180°F.

  • If you’re using a mold with small cavities, use a dropper to fill them. If you’re using a mold with larger cavities, you can use a small spoon.

  • If your gummies are too sticky or too hard, you may need to adjust the amount of gelatin or liquid in the recipe. Try adding more gelatin for a firmer texture, or more liquid for a softer texture.

  • For a stronger potency, you can add more cannabis concentrate to the mixture. However, be cautious not to add too much as it can affect the texture and taste of the gummies.

  • Experiment with different flavors and colors by using different types of fruit juice and food coloring.

  • Store your gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to prevent them from melting or losing potency.

In conclusion, making cannabis gummies at home is a fun and rewarding experience that can save you money and give you complete control over the potency and flavors of your edibles. With just a few simple steps and ingredients, you can make delicious and potent cannabis gummies that are perfect for any occasion. So, why not give it a try and impress your friends with your homemade edibles? Happy gummy making!
