For those of us who like tinctures, we are always on a quest to make them taste good and not be overloaded with sugar.
Let’s face it, 190 proof is hard on the tongue and just swallowing it defeats the purpose of taking a tincture in the first place.
I’ve found several recipes for gummy candies. This one, using Jello (or any brand of gelatin dessert) is the easiest and isn’t loaded with sugar.
Canna Gummies
1 small box of gelatin dessert (around 3 oz) any flavor– sugar free is 0.3 oz and works too 2 envelopes Knox Gelatin 1/3 cup water ¼ cup corn syrup 1/3 cup tincture ¼ teaspoon citric acid (optional)
First, you’ll need to make the tincture. I decarbed 3 ounces for 3 batches of candy. Each batch will have one ounce in it.I use the QWET (Quick Wash Ethanol) method.
This gives me approximately 4 cups of tincture that I’ll reduce down to 1 cup.
I now have 3 ounces in 1 cup tincture. I am going to be putting 1/3 cup in each batch of gummies.
You can make your's stronger or weaker.
I’m waiting for my t-check2 to get here
so I can figure the potency!:smoking:
Blue Raspberry Canna Gummies
First thing you want to do is gather everything you need. It takes 30 minutes from start to putting in the refrigerator.
Spray the molds with cooking spray. I use silicone molds. If you don’t have molds you can use a pan or anything that can go in the refrigerator (like making jello jigglers). Don’t forget to spray or grease whatever you use.
This batch is made with Jolly Rancher Blue Raspberry Gelatin net weight 2.79 oz
1. In a bowl, combine 1 box gelatin dessert, 2 envelopes Knox gelatin and 1/3 cup water.
This needs to sit for at least 10 minutes to bloom.
2. In a small sauce pan, combine ¼ cup corn syrup and 1/3 cup tincture.
Heat on the lowest setting (keep temperature 140 – 150 F) Stirring constantly.
It will take about 15 to 20 minutes of constant stirring to evaporate the remaining alcohol in the tincture and at the same time you are infusing the cannabis into the corn syrup.
I use a non stick pan, and silicone whisk.
As the alcohol evaporates, the oil that is left wants to collect on the sides of the pan. Constantly mix to keep from having “spots” of oil in your medibles, causing uneven dosing.
You know it is done, when you stop stirring and no spots of oil appear.
Very Important! Use ventilation while doing this, and avoid breathing the alcohol fumes.
3. Add the gelatin goop to the pan of infused corn syrup. Stir to combine, making sure it is smooth and liquid with no lumps.
4. Add ¼ teaspoon citric acid. Mix well.
The citric acid is optional. It is a preservative, but these gummies don’t last very long.
We have not noticed a difference in taste when I forget to add it sometimes. You can add more if you want a sour gummy...
5. Place the gummy mix in prepared molds.
6. 30 minutes in the refrigerator and they are ready to eat!
This batch made 106 gummy bears and 6 gummy coins ( 1 gummy coin equals 4 gummy bears)
Between the gelatin dessert mix (68g sugar) and the corn syrup (36g sugar) = 104g sugar
130 gummies each with .8g sugar.
Both the bear size and the coin size are great for sublingual dosing. They dissolve in your mouth and easily fit under your tongue.Next up - Sugar free (almost) Black Cherry Canna Gummies
We have been sampling all day and doing the normal smoking and I think I've had enough for now
