How To Make CBD Gummies At Home

What could possibly be better than CBD gummies? Homemade CBD gummies, that’s what. Making your own delicious, heavenly gummies gives you the chance to control the ingredients and implement whatever dietary restrictions you may have. So, flourish out your aprons and pop out your pans. We’re making homemade CBD gummies! 

Tools You Need to Prepare CBD Gummies 

Whether you’re particular about getting the right concentration of CBD, or you’re a DIY enthusiast who doesn’t mind getting a little grease on your hands, it’s possible to make your very own batch of CBD gummies and have them turn out great.  

 All you’ll need is a saucepan, a whisk, food-grade silicone molds, and oven mitts or gloves to protect your hands. Necessary ingredients include CBD oil, gelatin, fruit juice, and honey. If you prefer vegan gummies, simply replace gelatin and honey with agar powder and maple syrup. For a serving of about 30 gummies, use a cup of juice, two tablespoons each of gelatin and honey, and 2 mL of CBD oil. 

Choose The Best CBD Oil For This Recipe 

Speaking of CBD oil, you should know that this ingredient is central to the cannabis concentration you want for each of your gummies. In that case, it’s not just important to get the right CBD oil, it’s also vital to get the right quantity of CBD oil.  

In terms of quality, a high-quality, full-spectrum oil may be your best bet. Here’s a simple calculation to help you solve the question of quantity: 

• 5mg of CBD per gummy, multiplied by 30 gummies = 150mg of CBD oil 
• (Assuming that your preferred CBD oil has 25mg of CBD per ml), 150mg of CBD oil divided by 25mg per ml = 6ml of CBD oil for the entire recipe. 

5 Steps To Make The Best CBD Gummies At Home 

Now that we’ve gotten the preliminary preparations out of the way, it’s time to get down to the serious business of actually making the gummies. Here are five easy steps to help ensure that you end up with a heavenly batch:

1. Prepare Your Tools And Ingredients

First, spray the cavities of your silicone gummy mold with a nonstick cooking spray or vegetable oil, then set it aside. You may use any number of gummy molds with any type of shape, just ensure that the number of cavities adds up to 30. Greasing the insides of the molds helps the gummies come off easily. 

 Next, pour your ingredients (orange juice, gelatin or agar powder, and honey or maple syrup) into a measuring jug. This would make it easier to pour the mix into each of the molds.

2. Stir and Microwave The Gummy Mixture

After mixing the ingredients in the measuring jug, use a spoon to gently stir the gummy mixture, then let it sit for about one minute. The powdered gelatin will mix with the other ingredients, but won’t completely dissolve in the liquid. It needs heat to dissolve completely.  

 Load the measuring jug into the microwave after allowing the mixture to sit for a minute and heat the gummy mixture on full heat for about 30 seconds. Take a few seconds to stir the mixture thoroughly, microwave it for another 30 seconds, then stir the mixture thoroughly again. 

3. Add The CBD Oil

Bring out the jug from the microwave and let the gummy mixture cool for about 15 minutes. You should note that the measuring jug will be very hot, so you should wear oven mitts to protect your hands. After about 15 minutes, the mixture will thicken and begin to take the form of a gel. 

It’s best not to disturb the gummy mixture as it sets. Once it’s done, gently stir in the CBD oil. The quantity of CBD oil used will determine the potency of the CBD gummies. If you want to push the edges a little, you may use a CBD oil that also contains THC. 

4. Shape The Gummies

Grab the handle of the measuring jug and carefully pour the gummy mixture into each of the mold’s cavities. There’s no restriction as to shape, so you can use any mold shape of your choice. However, it’s best to fill up each cavity to the top. This would make it easy to remove the gummies from the mold at the end. 

 Wrap the mold in a baking sheet and place it in the refrigerator until the gummies are fully hardened. Observe them in 30 minutes to make sure they're fully set.

5. Remove and Store The Gummies

Once the gummies are suitably hardened, it’s time to remove them from the mold’s cavities. To ensure that they come out whole rather than fragmented, you’ll need to be a bit careful with this. Gently peel back the mold from the gummies until the gummies gently pop out. 

 In case you do not consume all the gummies at once, you may store the leftovers in an airtight container in your refrigerator. Your homemade CBD gummies are good for up to a week.  

The Bottom Line 

Shelf-bought CBD gummies can be expensive, particularly if you buy them often. Making your own CBD gummies at home not only lets you enjoy these delicious treats at a fraction of the cost, but it also helps ensure that you get your treats exactly how you want them. We’ve discussed exactly how in this article.
