3 or 4 packs of 12gr unflavoured gelatin
2 packs of flavoured jelly (depending on size) 150g
0.5g soy lecithin.... ( very important ingredient, its an emulsifier - without it your infusion will separate from the gummy mix)
0.4 potassium sorbate(mould inhibitor)
Dash of honey
400ml of water
Coconut oil
Mason jar
Cooking pot
3.5 g of cannabis extract ( I used 73u bubble hash)
Coffee fillers or clean empty tea bags
Silicone spatula (optional but very useful)
Silicone gummy moulds
Parchment paper
5ml plastic syringe (can be found in childrens calpol/ cough medicine bottles)
Bottle of flavouring in the event they don't taste like you expect (I had strawberry but didn't use it)
First off we want to activate our extract, I used my oven.
Gask mark 1 for 20 minutes, this won't fully decarb you extract but we'll finish it off in the coconut oil.
After 20 minutes take your extract let it cool at room temp for a beat, then put it in the freezer.
Now it will be ready for the coconut oil, grab your pot fill with enough water to just cover the bottom of the jar about 2 fingers from the bottom, remember to keep the jar off the bottom of the pot, use a small folded tea towel.
Or you can use a double boiler if you prefer.
Take a scope of coconut oil and put it in the microwave for 10 second bursts to make it into a liquid, now measure out approximately 30ml of coconut oil.
Put your 30ml of coconut oil into the jar and om your extract.
Bring the water to a soft boil, stirring our extract.
Now once we get the oil up to temperature you'll notice small bubbling/fizzing.
That's the carbon leaving the THCA chain, giving us orally active THC.
Observe until the bubbling stops, now we have fully decarbed our extract and infused our oil, this takes about 15 minutes.
Now in my case I used 73u bubble hash, which requires us to now filter out the tricome heads and plant materials, so that's where the coffee filters/tea bags come in.
Use the plastic syringe to suck up your oil and purge in through your filters into your jar lid.
If you have rosin or something similar you can skip this step but I'd still do it personally.
Now it's gummy time.
Take your packs of flavoured jelly and add a little under 400ml of boiled water and stir until dissolved.
add our unflavoured gelatin... Stir again
Add soy lecithin
Add potassium sorbate
Add honey
Stirr until dissolved, a hand held food processor helps a lot here but will give you an opaque gummy because of the air mixed in.
If you want clear gummys then you can let it set and then melt it down again. (I didn't bother)
Now it's my advice that you take a few samples of your gummy mix before adding our infused oil to make sure they are the right consistency and flavour before we commit to adding our infusion.
Put say 3 virgin gummys into your mould, add to freezer for a couple minutes.
if your not happy add a bit more flavour via your bottle of flavouring but you shouldn't need it.
More of either gelatin if there not the consistency you want.
Once you have desired taste/consistency add your mix to the microwave to warm it up again.
Add infusion and sir with our spatula until fully incorporated.
Take your plastic syringe and fill your moulds.
Put in fridge for a hour.
Take out, then let dry for a couple of hours.
I like to dust mine with a touch of corn flour, hepls keep them from sticking together in your pocket.
Store in a cool/dry place out of sunlight.
I worked on the assumption that my bubble hash was 55%THC.
55% per 1 gram would be 550mg of THC( I think)
So 3.5 would be 1,925mg ÷ by 500ml of gummy mix is 3.89mg per 1ml of gummy mix.
..... I think anyway.
Hope that was easy to follow and wasn't too rambley.

@discobiscuitt Great post, and Great job man 👍🏻
@discobiscuitt I use a similar recipe, a bit simpler but the same results. I cut the recipe in half to make them in a smaller batch because of my molds. I bought the same molds that SO MANY stoners buy:
A half a batch is almost perfect to fill these leaf molds. One other thing to make it easier is a better device for filling molds. I use a modified irrigation syringe with the end cut off for easy flow. Mine can fill 7 molds in one load making that job done faster and easier. Those droppers that are included only fill 2-3 in one pass and are not as easy to control. The worst thing that can happen is to have the mixture begin to set up before the molds are filled.
Random acts of kindness make the world a better place
@monkeydo yep every stoner does have those ones, first ones I bought.
The lego ones I have are my favourite, Id love to learn how to make proper gummy sweet though.
It retrospect, Id probably use less unflavoured gelatin and let them dry for longer.
Best thing I've ever found for filling moulds is a sauce bottle.
♥️💛💚
@discobiscuitt thats what i use a condiment bottle. wife laughed at me fumbling with the little droppers.
Sativa to change the things I can, Indica to accept the things I can’t.
@DiscoBiscuitt thanks for posting a great guide to gummies. I want to try this with my next harvest.
