I continue to get requests for the gummie recipe......I'm getting tired of having to go back and find it. LOL So I'm just going to start posting it in every thread, WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
12-14 oz unrefined coconut oil (big spread in prices, cheap is OK)
2-3 oz of cleaned and crumbled (no stems or seeds) pot, decarbed (dried) in 170 degree oven for 20 minutes or more
1 large box jello, your choice of flavor (not sugar free)- you can also use 2 smaller boxes
1/2 cup water
2 oz gelatin (4 orange packets) (look in the jello section in the supermarket)
sunflower lecithin (1/8-1/4 teaspoon granules or oil squeezed from 3 capsules) (available at GNC, Amazon, etc)
silicone candy molds (available at Walmart, Amazon, etc.)
Double boil the coconut oil and pot for at least 3 hours. Make sure the oil covers the bud. I prefer to use a mix of strains to balance out the high, but it's not necessary. Indica's will lead to a heavy body buzz and sleep, sativa's will lead to a head buzz for an hour or two, then hit the body. Stir often. The resin will melt from the bud and be absorbed by the oil. The oil will turn green. Strain well when done, squeeze out every drop of oil from the mix. Part 1 is over, easy peasy. The hard part is done, now the fun begins.
Part 2- Mix 1/3 cup of the infused coconut oil, the box of jello, 1/2 cup of water and the lecithin in a pot and boil for about 3+ minutes. Then you need to add the gelatin powder but I like to mix a little bit of hot water to it first to make sure it's disolved well. Then add to the boiling jello. Keep stiring throughout the entire process. About 5 minutes is good, don't over boil it, I turn mine down slightly to a low rolling boil.
The key to the whole recipe is cooking the entire mix to a certain point, not under or over cooking. The jello coloring tends to darken and turns a bit more thickened and syrupy. If you over cook it, the gummies will be more like hard candy (not good). If you under cook it, it will end up more like jello and less like gummies. Trial and error but after 2-3 attempts, you become an expert, I promise.
When you think it's done, pour into the molds. Let them sit 10-15 minutes, then place in fridge. They'll turn rubbery, like gummies and stay like that forever if kept in the fridge. Remove from molds, put on a container and enjoy.
What makes this recipe a bit differently is these gummies will hold up well in your pocket for hours and not melt. The balance of the oil can be kept in the fridge for your next batch, or put a teaspoon of hardened oil in a cup of tea, or whatever you come up with- there are countless options to injest it.
Lastly, obviously, the more pot you use, the stronger these will end up. Also, the stronger the pot, the stronger the gummie. Shake is good, buds are better. I always add a warning, these can be very potent. I've had people freak out, pass out, and everything in between. It's a much stronger buzz than smoking......so go slow initially til you become more experienced. Start with a smaller dose, you can always take more. It takes about 45 minutes to an hour for full effects to hit. If you get too buzzed, eat something like as it tends to calm things down. Expect the buzz to last at least 6 hours, sometimes longer. For a stronger buzz, eat one on an empty stomach. For a milder run, have a meal first.
@Aqua Man continues to experiment and revise my recipe. He's more adventurous so you may want to check out his threads on his gummies for updates and such. But I make full runs of about 35-45 gummjies every 3 weeks and could make them in my sleep. Practice makes perfect and if you can boil water, you'll probably have some success with these.
And as always, win a contest, get some gummies to try.
