Cannabis-infused gummy bears to make yourself

Cannabis gum

The best thing about these gummy bears is that you can easily make them yourself. With a few ingredients, you can make a whole bunch of these delicious highlights.

You will need the following ingredients:

  • 1 cup fruit juice
  • ¼ cup cold water
  • 1 tablespoon cannabis tincture
  • 1 teaspoon agar agar powder
  • fine brown cane sugar to taste
  • Silicone moulds in e.g. gummy bear shape

This is how it works:

  1. First heat the fruit juice in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix one teaspoon of agar agar powder with ¼ cup of cold water until completely dissolved.
  3. Once the fruit juice has become hot (boils a little), we add the agar-agar-water mixture, stirring vigorously now for 3 minutes over medium heat and also adding the brown cane sugar.
  4. After 3 minutes, we take the mixture off the cooker and let it cool down until the temperature is well below 175°C. When this is the case, we add the cannabis tincture and mix everything thoroughly.
  5. Now pour the mixture into the silicone moulds and leave them at room temperature for about 20 minutes. Then chill in the fridge for 20 minutes until the mixture has set.
  6. As soon as the cannabis gum has set, we can remove it from the moulds and perhaps turn it in a little icing sugar so that the gummy bears do not stick together.

The cannabis gummies are ready to enjoy and can be used in many ways, e.g. for in-between, for medicinal use or as a sweet change to normal consumption. You can control the strength of the gummies with the cannabis tincture and decide whether you prefer the psychoactive version with a lot of THC or CBD gummies.
