How to Make CBD Gummies

There are four simple ingredients used in making CBD gummies: honey, CBD drops, gelatin, and fruit juice. Making CBD gummies using silicone molds is easier because it is simple to pop out the finished gummy. It’s also advisable to use a liquid pipette or a dropper to add an exact amount of gummy mixture into the mold.

CBD Gummies Recipe

Ingredients

  • Water
  • Dried hibiscus flower or 6 hibiscus tea bags
  • Dried fruit powder like strawberry or raspberry
  • Refined white sugar
  • Lime juice
  • Unflavored gelatin

Directions

You will also need a gummy mold, cooking spray, sugar for dusting the mold, and a liquid pipette dropper. 

Step 1: Make Hibiscus Tea

Boil water and pour it over the hibiscus flour or the hibiscus tea bags using a heatproof cup or bowl. Let the mixture steep for about five minutes before straining out the floor. Measure the needed amount and discard the remaining liquid.

Step 2: Simmer the Gummy Base

Place about four cups of hibiscus tea in a small saucepan along with dried fruit powder, lemon juice, and sugar. Stir the mixture using a whisk until it’s well combined. Take the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat cook until it’s hot. Add some gelatin mixture into the pot while whisking to ensure the gelatin dissolves. Continue cooking over a low a medium heat until the gelatin completely melts and the mixture is smooth. If you have diabetes, use honey or agave for sugar-free options.

Step 3: Add the CBD Tincture

Remove the mixture from the heat source and add CBD-infused tincture. Stir well until the tincture is well dispersed in the solution. The foam doesn’t affect the gummies’ flavor. Let the gummy mixture cool and solidify before reheating. The foam layer will rise, and scoop it with a spoon.

Step 4: Pour the Mixture into the Gummy Mold

Put the gummy mold on a rimmed baking sheet. Using a spoon or a pipette, fill the gummy mold with the mixture. Increase your speed because the liquid starts solidifying once removed from the heat. You can also remove any large bubbles by poking them with a toothpick or tapping the mold against the countertop. Put the gummies into the refrigerator for about two hours until they are firm to remove.

Step 5: Release the Gummies

When the gummies are firm, release them by inverting the mold or popping them out from the bottom. To make the gummy chewer let them air dry on a wire ram for about 24 hours.

Step 6: Sugar the Gummies

This is an optional process. Pour a small amount of sugar into a bowl and add a few gummies at a time until they are well coated. Allow them to air dry on a wire rack for an hour before using.
