CBD gummies are a super fun way to consume your CBD oil. However, sometimes it can be difficult to find them, specifically in Canada.
With a limited range of availability and some questionable additives, we thought we would show you how to make your own at home!
Benefits of Making CBD Gummies
CBD gummies can be super easy and simple to put together in a flash. They are much healthier this way since you can control exactly what you put in them.
You can even customize them to whatever tastes you prefer which is a great chance to get creative in the kitchen!
In addition, these are a really good option for anyone following a paleo or keto diet (just use a different sweetener like monk fruit, xylitol, or stevia).
They can also be very helpful for those suffering from digestive conditions like IBS and IBD as gelatin is incredibly healing for the intestinal lining.
Just a quick reminder though, the best way to consume your CBD oil so that you get the most benefits by holding it under the tongue. This helps to ensure optimal absorption by not going through the digestive system. However, you can totally add CBD oil into baked goods or beverages for a fun change.
The Bottom Line: Making CBD gummies at home is a healthier and more affordable option. You can also customize the recipe to your own personal preferences and get creative with it.
CBD Gummy Recipe
Serving Size: The number of gummies that you will get from this recipe depends on the size of your molds.
Ingredients:
½ cup fruit juice or lemonade of your choice
2 tablespoons unflavoured powdered gelatin
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 full dropper of THEIA CBD oil
You will also need a gummy mold
Directions:
Combine the fruit juice, gelatin, and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring often until the gelatin and sugar dissolve completely for about 1 minute.
You want to make sure there is no sugar stuck to the bottom of the saucepan. If any foam forms while stirring, skim it off and discard. Transfer the mixture into a small measuring cup.
We suggest adding the CBD oil at this point once the mixture has come off the stovetop and has had a quick moment to cool down. You want to try to avoid cooking the CBD oil on a high heat as it can possibly lose some effectiveness.
Put the gummy mold onto a flat surface and slowly fill each cup to the top. Give each mold a small shake to ensure the mixture settles to the bottom.
Refrigerate until the mixture sets which is about 10 minutes. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Or store in the refrigerator for a slightly longer shelf life. Enjoy a healthy treat!
Notes: You are also welcome to put more CBD oil; you just might need a bit more gelatin for the proper consistency. We suggest using our THEIA CBD oil for this recipe as it comes unflavoured which is best for baked goods, beverages, and other creations.
