Batch of homemade CBD gummies

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is one of the most popular cannabinoids around. This is due to CBD’s many beneficial properties to our health. CBD is present in different amounts in all cannabis strains. However, hemp strains often contain higher amounts of it.

Moreover, CBD is totally edible, and it can deliver its beneficial effects whether smoked or consumed through any other method. Ingesting CBD oil through CBD gummies is one of the popular, healthy, and tasty ways of providing your body with all the magnificent benefits CBD can offer. CBD gummies are easy to get, as many brands sell many different types.

Although buying gummies from a quality source is the next best thing to cooking your own, nothing can beat making your own CBD gummies since you can be certain that your ingredients are natural. You also get to choose what flavor and amount of CBD are added to the mix.

Here’s an easy step-by-step recipe to make your own tasty CBD Gummies.

Key Takeaways

  • CBD gummies are edible candies infused with cannabidiol (CBD) oil, offering a discreet and easy method of cannabis consumption.
  • They are often marketed as health products, used to alleviate pain, reduce stress and anxiety, decrease inflammation, and improve sleep issues.
  • CBD gummies provide a pre-dosed amount of CBD, making it easier to track and manage intake than other forms such as tinctures or capsules.
  • Making your own CBD gummies ensures natural ingredients and allows customization of flavors and CBD dosages.

What are CBD Gummies?

CBD gummies are ingestible candies that include CBD oil. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-intoxicating cannabis compound. This means it doesn’t make users high. CBD gummies are a discreet and easy way to take CBD and they are often preferred for these reasons. They also have other advantages that many of the other CBD product forms do not provide.

CBD gummies are generally marketed as health products and are often used to bring pain relief, calm stress and anxious feelings, decrease inflammation, and help with sleep problems. Gummies are a tasty option for cannabis users who do not like the taste of CBD oil tinctures and capsules.

Since gummies are pre-dosed, they also provide consistency in the dosage of CBD in each gummy, making it simpler to track and try different doses.

  2. Once heated (not boiling), slowly whisk in the gelatin. Continue until it’s dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

How to Make CBD Gummies: Frequently Asked Questions

What Ingredients Are in a CBD Gummy?

A CBD gummy typically contains CBD oil, which is the active ingredient derived from the hemp plant. For the gummy base, gelatin is used in traditional recipes, whereas pectin can be used for a vegan alternative. Sweeteners such as sugar, honey, or alternatives like stevia or erythritol are added for taste. Natural or artificial flavors, along with citric acid for tartness, and food coloring for visual appeal, are also common inclusions.

How to Make Gummies out of CBD?

To make CBD gummies, start by mixing a gelatin or pectin base with water and heating the mixture until it dissolves completely. Add your desired amount of CBD oil, sweeteners, and flavors to the liquid. Once everything is thoroughly mixed, pour the mixture into silicone molds of your choice. Allow the gummies to set in the refrigerator until they are firm, usually taking about 30 minutes to an hour. Once set, the gummies can be removed from the molds and stored in an airtight container.

How Much CBD Oil Should I Put in Gummies?

The amount of CBD oil to add to your gummy mixture depends on the desired dosage per gummy and the total number of gummies you plan to make. Typically, a starting dose might be around 5–10 mg of CBD per gummy. If you are making 20 gummies, and you want each gummy to contain 10 mg of CBD, you would need to add 200 mg of CBD oil to your mixture. Always start with a small dosage and adjust based on your personal needs and the recommendations of a healthcare provider.
