Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients and Tools

Before you start, ensure you have all the necessary ingredients and tools:

Ingredients

• 1 cup fruit juice (your choice)
• 1/4 cup cannabis-infused coconut oil
• 1/4 cup honey or sugar (to taste)
• 1/4 cup sunflower or soy lecithin
• 2 tablespoons gelatin (or vegan alternative)

Tools

• Candy molds (with droppers for easy filling)
• Pyrex containers for mixing
• Heat source (stovetop or microwave)
• Whisk for stirring

Step 2: Prepare Your Cannabis Infused Oil

If you haven't yet infused your coconut oil with cannabis, follow these steps:

1. Decarboxylate the cannabis:

   • Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C).
   • Spread ground cannabis on a baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes.

2. Infuse the oil:

   • Combine the decarboxylated cannabis with coconut oil in a slow cooker or double boiler.
   • Heat on low for 4-6 hours, stirring occasionally.

Step 3: Mix Your Ingredients

Now it's time to combine everything to create your gummy mixture:

1. Combine fruit juice and honey:

   • In a Pyrex container, mix the fruit juice with honey until well blended.

2. Add infused coconut oil:

   • Stir in the cannabis-infused coconut oil until fully incorporated.

3. Mix in lecithin:

   • Add sunflower or soy lecithin and whisk thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

4. Incorporate gelatin:

   • Sprinkle the gelatin over the mixture and allow it to bloom for a few minutes. Then stir until completely dissolved.

Step 4: Heat the Mixture

To activate the gelatin and ensure a smooth texture:

1. Heat gently:
   • Place the Pyrex container on the stovetop over low heat or microwave for 10-15 seconds at a time, stirring in between until the mixture is warm but not boiling.

Step 5: Fill the Molds

Now that your mixture is ready, it's time to fill the candy molds:

1. Use a dropper:

   • Carefully fill each cavity of the candy molds using the dropper. Aim for uniform filling to ensure consistent dosing.

2. Refrigerate:

   • Place the filled molds in the refrigerator for about 30-60 minutes, or until the gummies are set.

Step 6: Unmold and Store

After the gummies have set, it's time to take them out of the molds:

1. Carefully remove gummies:

   • Gently flex the molds to release the gummies. If they stick, you can refrigerate them a bit longer.

2. Store properly:

   • Keep your gummies in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness. They can last for a few weeks.
