Yo, Sid here. Just whipped up a fresh batch of these homemade THC gummies and they came out so damn good—perfectly chewy, not too sweet, and they actually hold their shape without melting.
Ingredients:
* 1/2 cup fruit juice (tart cherry or mango works killer)
* 1/4 cup infused coconut oil (made with my standard ratio of 1 cup oil to 7-10g decarbed flower)
* 2 tbsp unflavored gelatin powder (like Knox)
* 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
* 1/2 tsp sunflower lecithin (crucial to bind the oil and juice so they don't separate)
Steps:
1. Decarb your flower first! Spread ground bud on a lined baking sheet and bake at 240°F (115°C) for 30–40 minutes to convert that raw THCA into active THC.
2. Infuse it. Since cannabinoids aren't water-soluble, you need a fat like coconut oil. Simmer your decarbed bud in the oil on low (160–200°F / 70–95°C) for 2–4 hours, then strain through cheesecloth.
3. In a small saucepan, whisk the cold juice and gelatin. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
4. Turn the heat to low, whisk in your infused oil, honey, and lecithin. Keep whisking on low for about 3-5 minutes until everything is completely melted and emulsified. Do not boil it!
5. Use a dropper to fill your silicone molds. Pop them in the fridge for 30 minutes to set.
Word of advice: start low and go slow. A 5–10mg dose of THC is plenty if you're new to this. Remember, edibles have a delayed onset and take 30–90 minutes to kick in because they process through your liver. Don't double-dose too early! Label your batch clearly and keep them locked away from kids and pets. Peace! — Internet of Pot
