Recipe:
•1fl oz infused coconut oil Calculator for dosing
•2fl oz water (or juice is what I use)
•like an 1/8th tsp of sunflower lecithin
•2x Knox gelatin envelopes (1.8g ea iirc)
•3oz (small box) Jello brand whatever flavor
•Tartaric acid (manufactured Citric acid is low key poison FYI)
•organic raw sugar
Directions:
Put infused oil and water in like a small candy pot and stir till they’re mixed up very well (try to keep as cool as possibly without the coconut oil hardening). Mix in the Knox gelatin thoroughly, then add the jello box and do the same. Next you just let it sit for 10-15mins for sugar to bloom or some shit, should be like thicc applesauce .
I like to go low and slow, I have a little copper pot that holds heat well so I want to gradually build up the heat till I get to my desired temps (I’ll us IR gun or candy thermometer next time to be more accurate).
On my stove I start at 2 on the dial and continuously stir with a little whisk for maybe 5-8 mins till it looks like it’s starting to melt down. Turn it up to 3-4 on the dial while still stirring continuously, another 8-10mins till it’s all melted down, it’ll get clear and get more syrupy if you let it drop off the whisks. Usually once I see a little vapor or if I stop stirring it bubbles at all I pull it from heat and keep stirring.
Switch the dial to LOW (want to keep pot pretty warm to keep goop from solidifying) and start filling the molds with a dropper that came with the molds. I usually have a helper because I have zero patience. One stirring, one filling molds. Makes the process a lot easier. i usually get 100-110 gummy bears. If you end up with more you didn’t cook it long or hot enough and they’ll likely sweat/weep.
Next I put them in the freezer for 30mins to an hour depending what all I have going on.
I have a cooling rack that I pop the gummy bears out on straight from the freezer, air dry (my ceiling air vent hits the counter just right to speed this along).
Toss the bears in a Tupperware with whatever coating suits your taste, Mine is usually around 1-1.5 tsp of tartaric acid and 1-2 cups of sugar mixed in (I’ll use this to coat a few hundred before I tweak it at all). Shake vigorously and make sure all get evenly coated. Toss bears in a sifter to clean up and back on the cooling rack for 15-30mins. Double coat if needed.
Should be find under 78-80°f ambient air, no sun. Store in fridge just to be safe til used.
1 truclear syringe. I used GDP
1 unflavored gelatin packet
1/2 teaspoon corn starch
1/2 teaspoon lecithin granules (I had to get these at GNC myself)
1 jello packet, with sugar tho. 3 oz. We used blue.
Some measuring cups (1 large one)I got those molds off amazon these ones! It included the little syringe thingy.
and a good mixing utensil! Preferably silicon. A good saucepan also, I used a rather small one. Don't want anything sticking!
​
Recipe:
1/3 cup water + 2 tablespoons. Next time I'm going to try fruit juice. Put that into a pan.
Add the lecithin granules 1/2 teaspoon, stir well.
Add the unflavored gelatin. Stir that well.
Wait about 5 minutes for it to get really....gooey?
While doing this you need to get your distillate to be more runny. I chose to put mine inside a plastic bag, which I submerged in water. I pulled the syringe part off a bit so I could see how runny it was.
Move your saucepan to the heat on low. Stir it occasionally until everything is liquid (granules suck) but do not boil.
Once it's liquified, add a generous 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch. Mix that well. IT will take a second until it's completely mixed in.
Add the jello packet and mix in.
Now you add and generously mix your distillate to the jello and keep the heat on it briefly while mixing to ensure it gets throughout.
Put them into the molds and refrigerate 30 minutes.
and finished!we used blue raspberry.
I personally, took the remaining distillate and submerged the whole syringe into my tea. Waste not, want not. Made about 130, around 6 mg of THC each.
I was planning to use that recipe, but use these gummy molds from amazon that are smaller than the ones used in the recipe so I figured I’ll be able to make ~200 gummies
