Making edibles is a fun way to personalize your preferred CBD or THC dose. You get to put in the right amount of THC, and you can add your favorite flavor as well. Everything is in your favor. You have complete control over what goes into your edibles.
Gummies are now the simplest way of consuming edibles. Gummies are an excellent way to get started with THC use for individuals who are new to it. So, if you’re interested in THC gummies, then let’s start with making one of your own.
Supplies
- Mixing bowl and spatula
- Glass bowl and medium-sized pot
- Silicon mold
- Kitchen dropper
Ingredients
- Cannabis-infused oil
- THC Tincture or Distillate
- Flavored Jello
- Unflavored gelatin
- Soy or sunflower lecithin
- Flavoring oils
- ½ cup of water or favorite fruit juice
Cannabis-infused oil
THC gummies are a popular cannabis-infused treat created with a wide range of ingredients. You’ll need cannabis-infused oil first, which you can make by extracting cannabinoids from cannabis plants or purchasing prepackaged THC oil.
Flavored Jello or gelatin
Flavored jello or gelatin gives gummies the chewy consistency, you’ll need.
Unflavored gelatin
To give the finished product a rich flavor and texture, some recipes ask for unflavored gelatin, lecithin, and flavoring oils.
Lecithin
Cannabis oil does not naturally bond with water or some of the melted ingredients in gummies, so you may end up with a film of cannabis oil on top of your gummies or gummies that aren’t of appropriate consistency. An emulsifier, such as soy or sunflower lecithin, will address this problem, allowing the entire mixture to blend uniformly in the desired sticky consistency.
Overall, the authentic components needed to manufacture THC gummies will vary depending on your recipe and preferences, but with a little experience and experimenting, you can make tasty gummies infused with THC and other cannabinoids.
Preparation method of THC gummies
- Making THC gummies is an easy and enjoyable method. To get started, you’ll need to set up your cooking countertop and gather all of your supplies and materials.
- To begin, pour half a cup of water or juice into a mixing bowl and toss in your unflavored gelatin until completely dissolved.
- Set this aside while you make a double boiler from a medium-sized pot and a glass bowl that fits properly inside.
- Place the pot over medium heat on the stove, then pour the oil and lecithin into the mixing bowl, stirring constantly to combine.
- Remove the bowl from the heat after everything has melted, add your THC extract or THC-infused oil, and gently mix everything until smooth.
- It’s time to start filling your mold with your THC-infused mixture.
- For best yield, fill each cavity of a silicon mold to the top. You can either use a kitchen dropper to pour the mixture into the mold or a small spatula/spoon.
- Refrigerate for 2-4 hours until firm before removing from the mold. Do not freeze it.
- Store it in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- To get all of THC’s advantages, take one gummy every few hours as needed.
Concentration level of THC and CBD in “THC gummies”
The potency of your gummies is determined by the amount of concentrate used. If you’re looking for anything with a strong result, you’ll need to include more concentrates. The amount of CBD and THC per gram of concentrate varies depending on the plant.
For example,
- Hemp has a maximum of 0.3% THC and a maximum of 18% of CBD.
- Cannabis will have THC levels as high as 17% and CBD levels of 0.15%.
If you want to make CBD gummies, you should use hemp-derived concentrates. This is because hemp-derived products are legal in most states compared to cannabis-derived products. So, if you want to carry your homemade THC gummies you simply need to look to the state laws and follow the guidelines.
Storing instructions
Store THC gummies in a cold, dark place where they aren’t exposed to moisture or other pollutants. To avoid any undesirable exposure to the surrounding environment, THC gummies should be kept intact in an airtight container preferably glass containers.
It would be beneficial if you could also try to avoid exposing them to severe temperatures like hot (direct sunlight) or extremely cold climates (snowy winters, or freezer). These precautions can help ensure that your THC gummies remain potent and effective for as long as possible.
Final takeaway
Whatever flavor and shape you add to your gummies, it is the most natural and safe way of making your gummies. These gummies are free of additives or any pollutants. What else do you want?
