4. Bake exactly 40 minutes. Shake once at 20 minutes.

Infusion Guide – Clear 500 mg MCT Oil Tincture (the secret to flavorless gummies)


1. Put your cooled decarbed weed into a small mason jar.  

2. Add ½ cup (4 oz) food-grade MCT oil (fractionated coconut oil).  

3. Set the jar in a small pot with 2 inches of barely simmering water (double-boiler style).  

4. Keep water temp 160–190 °F for 2½ hours. Give it a gentle swirl every 30 min.  

5. Pull the jar, let it cool 10 min, then strain through a coffee filter or fine cheesecloth into a clean dropper bottle. Squeeze hard.  

6. You now have 4 oz (≈ ½ cup) crystal-clear tincture with exactly 500 mg active THC.


Complete Recipe – 200 Perfect 2.5 mg Microdose Gummies


Ingredients  

½ cup cold water  

4 packets (1 box, ¼ oz each) Knox unflavored gelatin  

1 (3 oz) packet flavored Jell-O (any flavor – we love strawberry, mango, or blue raspberry)  

2 tablespoons light corn syrup (keeps them soft)  

½ cup (4 oz) of your 500 mg THC-MCT tincture  

Silicone gummy molds (200 mini cavities total – bear, worm, or drop shapes all work)  

A little neutral oil spray for the molds


Steps  

1. Lightly spray molds with oil and wipe out excess with a paper towel.  

2. Pour cold water into a small saucepan and sprinkle both the gelatin and Jell-O powder over the top. Let it bloom 5 minutes (it’ll look weird – that’s normal).  

3. Put the pan on medium-low heat and whisk constantly until everything melts into a smooth liquid (about 3–4 minutes). Do NOT boil.  

4. Remove from heat, add corn syrup, whisk well.  

5. Add the entire ½ cup of 500 mg tincture and whisk like crazy for 30 seconds – this is how you keep it perfectly even.  

6. Use a dropper or small measuring cup to fill molds right to the top. Work fast – it sets quick.  

7. Pop molds in the fridge 20–25 minutes.  

8. Pop gummies out onto parchment. Let them air-dry on the counter 24 hours (makes them shelf-stable and less sticky).  

9. Toss in a light dusting of cornstarch or citric-acid/sugar mix if you want sour vibes.


Storage
