Strongest CBD gummies can be made at home by using a variety of methods. The main method is simply to add the CBD oil to an edible base and then process it in a food processor.
The other method involves mixing CBD powder with water or coconut milk, then forming a dough that you roll into small balls. You can then dehydrate these balls until they are crunchy and brittle, or place them in the oven for a few minutes to get them crispy.
While both methods work, there is no right way to make your own CBD gummies. If you’re not sure which one to use, we recommend trying out a couple different recipes so you have more options later on if needed.
Also, note that you should always check with your doctor before using any type of cannabis product. Some people do not tolerate CBD well and may experience side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth, lightheadedness, nausea, or vomiting.
With all this said, here are some great ways to make CBD gummies at home.
Method #1: Add CBD Oil To Edible Base
This method is easy to follow and uses just two ingredients – CBD oil and a healthy edible base. When making the CBD gummies, you will need the following:
Edible base: This is usually something like honey, agave nectar, brown rice syrup, maple syrup, or coconut sugar.
If you don’t have an edible base already prepared, you can buy pre-made ones from your local grocery store. Or, you can prepare your own by adding honey, agave nectar, or even maple syrup (or any other sweetener) to plain white rice.
Ingredients:
CBD oil – You can find pure CBD oil online or at a health food store.
Edible base – The amount of CBD oil you need depends on how much edibles you want to consume. For example, if you want to eat a single gummy, you would probably only need about half a dropper full of CBD oil. However, if you want to try a batch of 30 gummies, you will need a whole dropper full of CBD oil.
Processing:
Add CBD oil to edible base.
Use a blender or food processor to blend mixture together until it forms a smooth paste.
Use a spoon to scoop the desired amount of gummy goodness onto a plate or tray.
Wrap each piece individually in plastic wrap, and then put the wrapped pieces into the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes.
Take the gummies out of the freezer and let sit for another 5 minutes.
Let the gummies sit at room temperature for about 1 hour longer.
When ready, your homemade gummies are now ready to eat! Enjoy!
Method #2: Mix CBD Powder With Water/Coconut Milk
For this recipe, you will need the following:
CBD powder – This is available at most health food stores and online retailers.
Water or coconut milk – These are also available at most health food stores and online retailers.
A container with lid – A clean jar works best.
Ingredients:
Mix CBD powder into water or coconut milk.
Gently stir the mixture until a thick paste is formed.
Pour the paste into a small bowl.
Form a ball out of the paste.
Place the ball into the air for about 3 to 4 hours to dehydrate.
Once dehydrated, break apart the gummy pieces.
Enjoy!
Method #3: Use Coconut Flour to Make Your Own Dough
The final method is one that you can use to make large batches of CBD gummies. It requires several steps but is still fairly simple to follow.
First, start off by making your own coconut flour. To make the coconut flour, combine the following in a food processor:
Coconut meat – You can purchase the coconut meat from your local grocery store.
You will also need the following:
Powdered gelatin – This ingredient is normally found in the baking aisle of your local grocery store.
Liquid stevia – Stevia is a natural plant extract that has a similar taste profile to sugar while being low-calorie and non-fermented. Most liquid stevias come in a dark bottle with a dropper dispenser. You should look for no additives or preservatives when purchasing.
A blender – This is necessary to mix the coconut flour and powdered gelatin together.
A strainer – Place a strainer over a bowl and pour the coconut flour mixture through the strainer.
Now that you have the coconut flour, here is what you do next:
Add the powdered gelatin to the blender and blend for 1 minute.
Add the liquid stevia and blend for 2 minutes.
Put the coconut flour mixture on a cookie sheet and press down firmly to create a flat surface.
Fill a mold with the coconut flour mixture. Roll it into a ball shape. Don’t worry too much about getting every last bit of coconut flour because once the gummy balls are frozen, they won’t hold together very well.
Freeze the balls for about 30 minutes.
Remove the hardened balls from the freezer and place in the fridge/freezer for another 20 minutes.
Place the gummy balls back into their original shape.
Dehydrate the gummy balls until they become brittle.
Break apart the gummy pieces.
Store in an airtight container.
Troubleshooting
If you are having trouble figuring out how to make your own CBD gummies, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Make sure your edible base is made correctly. If it is too moist, it will not harden properly. Also, remember to keep the edible base refrigerated until you are ready to make the CBD gummies.
Keep in mind that if you plan on eating these gummies in larger quantities than one per day, you will need to make multiple batches. This means that you will need to plan ahead and set aside time every week to make your own CBD gummies.
As mentioned earlier, you will want to double-check with your doctor before consuming any type of CBD products. Not everyone responds to CBD the same way, so if you are unsure whether or not it is safe for you, consult with your doctor first.
In addition, be aware that CBD is not considered a drug under US law. Thus, you cannot obtain a prescription for it. Also, it is important to know that CBD does not affect the level of THC in a person’s system or body. As long as the THC content remains below 0.3%, you will not be arrested or charged with anything.
