DIY Cannabis Gummies Recipe

You don't need to be the next Gordon Ramsey to make your own weed gummies at home. All it takes is a bit of time, the right high-quality ingredients, and an afternoon to indulge.

Though the procedure might seem straightforward enough, you should still proceed with caution. DIY-ing homemade cannabis gummies isn't as easy as it seems, and if you're not prepared, it can end in disaster.

Before you begin, you'll need the following items:

Equipment

• Saucepan
• Whisk
• Mixing bowl
• Pipette/dropper/funnel/squeeze bottle
• Gummy molds

Ingredients

• Cooking spray
• 1/2 cup cold purified water
• 1/2 cup cannabis-infused coconut oil or cannabis tincture (for a stronger effect, use a full-spectrum cannabis oil for an entourage effect)
• 1/2 tsp sunflower oil or soy lecithin
• 2 tbsp unflavored gelatin
• 1 packet of flavored JELL-O (this will give your cannabis gummies a chewy texture, just like the ones you buy at your local dispensary!)
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1/2 tsp citric acid

How to Make Cannabis Gummies

Step One: Prep the Gummy Molds

Place your gummy mold on a baking dish so that it has solid support. Spray a light layer of cooking oil on your mold to prevent sticking down the road. Coconut oil works best, as it can harden so that you're not left with a wet and oily mess.

Step Two: Mix Water and Cannabis Oil

Add 1/2 cup of cold purified water with either 1/2 cup of cannabis coconut oil, cannabis tincture, or another cannabis-infused oil. Add 1 tsp of sunflower oil or soy lecithin. Pour the mixture into a small saucepan.

Place your saucepan on the stove over low to medium-low heat. You will want it to be barely simmering. If it's too hot and you're using an alcohol-based tincture, the alcohol can end up evaporating and ruin the consistency of your infused gummies.

Step Three: Add the Gelatin and JELL-O

Your water should be simmering at this point. Grab your JELL-O packet and 2 tbsps of flavored gelatin and slowly sprinkle it over the top of your water and cannabis-infused oil mixture. As you do so, constantly stir with your whisk to prevent lumps. Do so until everything is fully dissolved and you have a consistent texture.

Step Four: Add the Sugar and Citric Acid

Keep whisking! Then, add sugar and citric acid as you keep stirring the gelatin mixture. You can forego the citric acid if you want sweet gummies with no sourness. If you don't want to use sugar, you can opt for honey or agave nectar as a sweetener instead.

Again, be sure that everything is completely dissolved and has a consistent texture before moving on to the next step.

Step Five: Fill the Gummy Molds

Once your ingredients are mixed very well, prepare your pipette and gummy molds.

You'll want to leave your saucepan and cannabis mixture on low heat so that it won't cool down. If that happens, the oil will separate from the rest of the gummy mixture. You'll also need to keep stirring as you do this step so the mixture doesn't thicken.

The quicker you get your mixture into the molds, the better your homemade gummies will turn out!

Use your funnel or pipette to place your mixture into your mold. Keep your mold on the baking dish so it stays level, and your infused gummies can turn out precise.

Step Six: Freeze

Once your gummy molds are filled to the brim, they're almost ready to be consumed. The gelatin mixture just needs to harden!

All you need to do is pop the molds into the freezer for around 30 minutes. Over this time, they should start to thicken until they have a slightly tacky texture. After that, take them out of the freezer and line them up on parchment paper to fully air dry.

 The Benefits of THC Gummies

Especially in recent years, weed gummies have really exploded. More and more continue to turn toward natural cannabinoids like CBD in order to ease pain and relieve stress. And CBD gummies or THC gummies offer a discreet and tasty way to indulge!

Easy to Store

THC gummies are exceptionally easy to store. These bite-sized candies are odorless and even have a hefty shelf-life. Though other forms of edibles often contain perishable items and can expire in a few days, that's not the case for marijuana gummies.

Gummies can be kept for months at a time as long as you store them properly. Be sure to keep them in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.

Manageable Dosing

When consuming edible gummies, it's important always to start with a low dose. You can increase your intake later. But once you eat them, there's no going back!

Even when you make THC gummies at home, you can add precise amounts of THC, CBD, and other ingredients. And this is especially true when you purchase THC gummies from a reputable supplier.

You can easily measure how much THC or CBD you'll ingest per gummy and proceed as you see fit. This will help you have a more enjoyable high and reduce the risk of greening out, which can be a challenge when inhaling cannabis.

Compared to store-bought THC gummies, homemade gummies let you control the potency and flavor—but your homemade creations may not last as long as store-bought products without proper storage.

Discreet

Odds are that you wouldn't notice someone near you eating candy (unless you were pretty hungry, yourself.) And most of the time, no one will bat an eye if they see you pop a candy gummy.

You can take a THC gummy while shopping in the supermarket, waiting for the bus, or playing video games with friends. Simply put, these discreet edibles don't arouse suspicion.

On top of that, they're odorless and will keep your house from stinking. This is important if you have roommates who aren't fans of smoke or vapor lingering in the air.

Final Thoughts

With this recipe in your back pocket, you'll be on your way to making weed gummies in your own kitchen. But when in doubt, just buy them already made. It'll be tastier that way, anyway!
