Yo, Sid here. Just whipped up a fresh batch of these homemade gummies and they came out so damn good I had to share the recipe. Super chewy, not too sweet, and they hit the spot perfectly.
First, we gotta make the infused oil. THC isn't water-soluble, so you need a carrier fat like coconut oil to bind to it.
**Ingredients:**
* 7–10g of cannabis flower
* 1 cup of refined coconut oil (so it doesn't taste too coconut-y)
* 1/2 cup fruit juice (tart cherry or berry works best)
* 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
* 2 tbsp unflavored gelatin powder
* 1 tbsp soy or sunflower lecithin (essential to keep the oil and juice from separating!)
**Steps:**
1. **Decarb:** Don't skip this! Spread your ground flower on a lined baking sheet and bake at 240°F (115°C) for 30–40 minutes to activate the THCA into THC.
2. **Infuse:** Simmer your coconut oil and decarbed flower on low (160–200°F / 70–95°C) for 2–4 hours. Stir occasionally, then strain through cheesecloth.
3. **The Gummy Mix:** Whisk the juice and gelatin in a saucepan and let it sit for 5 mins to bloom.
4. **Combine:** Turn the heat to low, whisk in 1/4 cup of your infused oil and the lecithin. Whisk constantly for 5 mins until completely emulsified and smooth.
5. **Mold:** Pour into silicone molds and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Keep these locked up and labeled so nobody mistakes them for regular candy. If you're new to this, start with a small piece—around 5–10mg is a solid starting dose. Remember, edibles take 30–90 minutes to kick in since they process through your liver. Do not double down too early! Enjoy the ride. — Internet of Pot
