RECIPE INFO:
Category: Gourmet Edible / Confectionery
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Setting Time: 2 hours (plus 24 hours air-dry)
Servings: Approximately 30 gummies
THC per serving: Approximately 10mg THC per gummy
TERPENE PAIRING:
Best paired with strains high in Myrcene or Linalool. Myrcene enhances the earthy, toasted notes of the quinoa milk, while Linalool provides a floral, lavender-like finish that brightens the overall flavor profile of the fruit juice base.
DOSAGE INFORMATION:
Each gummy contains approximately 10mg THC. Total batch contains 300mg THC. The infused oil must be whisked vigorously into the warm quinoa base to ensure the lipids are fully emulsified for even dosing.
PLEASE CONSUME RESPONSIBLY AND START LOW, GO SLOW!
Keep out of reach of children and pets. Effects may take 30-120 minutes to onset. Wait at least 2 hours before considering additional consumption. Do not drive or operate machinery.
INGREDIENTS:
* 7 grams high-quality cannabis flower (for the infusion base)
* 1/2 cup refined coconut oil (you will use 2 tbsp for this recipe)
* 1 cup quinoa milk (homemade or high-quality store-bought)
* 1/2 cup 100% pomegranate or tart cherry juice
* 4 tbsp unflavored gelatin powder (or 2 tsp agar-agar for vegan)
* 2 tbsp honey or agave nectar
* 1/2 tsp sunflower lecithin (liquid)
* 1/2 tsp citric acid (for tartness and preservation)
DECARBOXYLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
* Preheat oven to 240°F.
* Break cannabis flower into small, uniform pieces.
* Spread in a thin layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
* Bake for 30-40 minutes until the flower is a light toasted brown.
* Cool completely before beginning the oil infusion.
INFUSION INSTRUCTIONS:
* Combine 1/2 cup refined coconut oil and the decarboxylated flower in a double boiler.
* Maintain a temperature between 160°F and 180°F for 3 hours.
* Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and cheesecloth into a glass jar.
* Measure exactly 2 tbsp of this infused oil for the recipe. Store the rest in a cool, dark place.
PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS:
* In a small saucepan, combine the quinoa milk and fruit juice.
* Sprinkle the gelatin or agar-agar over the liquid and let it "bloom" for 5 minutes.
* Place the saucepan over low heat and whisk constantly until the gelatin is completely dissolved (do not boil).
* Stir in the honey, sunflower lecithin, and citric acid.
* Add the 2 tbsp of infused coconut oil. Use a hand frother or whisk vigorously for 1-2 minutes until the oil is fully emulsified and no droplets remain on the surface.
* Use a dropper to fill silicone gummy molds with the mixture.
* Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the gummies are firm.
* Remove from molds and place on a wire rack to air-dry for 24 hours for the best texture.
CHEF TIPS:
Sunflower lecithin is the professional secret to a shelf-stable gummy. It acts as a bridge between the water-based juice and the infused oil, preventing the infusion from separating and ensuring every gummy has an identical dose.
