How to Make CBD Gummies
Making CBD gummies at home can be a fun way to enjoy CBD in a custom flavor and dosage. With a few simple ingredients and CBD isolate from Yin Yang Infusions, you’ll be ready to craft high-quality CBD gummies right in your kitchen.
Ingredients and Equipment for Homemade CBD Gummies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of fruit juice (orange, lemon, or berry juice for added flavor)
- 1–2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup (adjust for sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional but helps with preservation)
- 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
- CBD isolate powder — CBD Isolate from Yin Yang Infusions is ideal for precise dosage and flavorless results.
Equipment:
- Saucepan
- Silicone gummy molds
- Whisk or spoon
Step-by-Step Instructions for Making CBD Gummies
Step 1: Prepare the Gummy Molds
Set up your silicone molds on a flat tray so they’re easy to transfer to the refrigerator.
Step 2: Mix the Base Ingredients
In a saucepan, pour the fruit juice and optional lemon juice, and sprinkle the gelatin on top. Allow it to sit for about a minute to “bloom” (or absorb moisture), which will improve the texture of your gummies. Then, gently heat the mixture over low heat, stirring continuously until the gelatin fully dissolves.
Step 3: Add Sweetener and CBD Isolate
Once the gelatin is fully dissolved, remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool for a moment. Add honey or agave syrup to taste, and then stir in the CBD isolate. Yin Yang Infusions’ CBD Isolate works perfectly for gummies, as it blends easily and is tasteless. Stir well to ensure the CBD is evenly distributed in the mixture.
Step 4: Pour the Mixture into Molds
Pour the mixture into your gummy molds, filling each cavity to the top. This ensures consistent doses in each gummy.
Step 5: Refrigerate and Set
Transfer the tray with gummy molds to the refrigerator. Allow them to set for 30-45 minutes until firm. Once set, pop the gummies out of the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Tips for Making Great CBD Gummies
- Choose Your Flavor: Avoid using fruits like kiwi or pineapple in the juice base, as they contain enzymes that can affect the gummy’s texture. Instead, use citrus or berry juices for reliable results.
- Dosing: To calculate how much CBD isolate to add, divide the total CBD by the number of gummy molds. With Yin Yang Infusions’ CBD Isolate, dosing is easy since the isolate powder can be precisely measured.
- Storage: Keep gummies in the fridge or freezer to preserve freshness and potency.
