Instructions For Cannabis Gummy Recipe With Fruit Juice
Step-1. Combine the Gelatin
In a small mixing bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over half a cup of fruit juice. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to bloom.
Step-2. Crafting the Syrup
In a saucepan, set over gentle heat, combine the remaining half cup of fruit juice, sugar, and corn syrup. Stir consistently until the sugar dissolves entirely.
Step-3. Blending the Gelatin
After the gelatin has fully bloomed, carefully warm it in the microwave for approximately 20 seconds, ensuring it transforms into a liquid state. Be carefully to prevent overheating.
Step-4. Mixing It All Together
Pour the liquid gelatin into the saucepan with the syrup. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
Step-5. Adding Cannabis Tincture
Remove the saucepan from heat and add the cannabis tincture. Stir thoroughly. Feel free to change the dosage if you like a stronger one.
Step-6. Shaping Your Gummies
Adding Flavor and Color: If you’d like, add a drop or two of food coloring and citric acid for flavor enhancement. Stir well.
Step-7. Filling the Molds
Lightly grease your gummy molds or ice cube tray with cooking spray. Using a dropper or syringe, carefully fill each cavity with the mixture.
Step-8. Setting the Gummies
Allow the gummies to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes. You can also refrigerate them for faster setting.
Step-9. Pop Them Out
Once they are set and firm to the touch, gently pop the gummies out of the molds.
