Decarboxylation

What you'll need:
- Cannabis flower (use 10 grams for approximately 10mg THC per gummy when making 50 pieces, assuming 15% THC flower strength—adjust based on your strain's lab test for accuracy)
- Oven
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Grinder

Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 240°F (115°C).
2. Break flower into small pieces, grind coarsely.
3. Spread evenly on parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Bake 30-40 minutes, stir halfway.
5. Cool completely—it turns light brownish-green when ready.

Infusion (Canna-Simple Syrup)

What you'll need:
- Decarboxylated cannabis (from above)
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- Saucepan
- Cheesecloth or fine strainer

Steps:
1. Combine water and sugar in saucepan, heat until sugar dissolves.
2. Add decarboxylated cannabis.
3. Simmer on low 1-2 hours (160-180°F), stir occasionally—do not boil hard.
4. Cool slightly, strain through cheesecloth into container, squeeze gently.
5. This is your canna-simple syrup (about 1 cup yield).

Recipe (makes about 50 gummies)

Ingredients:
- 1 cup canna-simple syrup (from above)
- 3/4 cup fresh orange juice
- Zest of 2 oranges
- 1/4 cup cognac
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon orange liqueur (like Cointreau or Triple Sec)
- 6 tablespoons gelatin (250 bloom for firm chew)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 1 tablespoon citric acid (for coating, optional for tart edge)

Steps:
1. In saucepan, combine canna-simple syrup, orange juice, orange zest, cognac, lemon juice, and orange liqueur.
2. Sprinkle gelatin over mixture, let bloom 5 minutes.
3. Heat on low, stirring constantly until gelatin fully dissolves (do not boil).
4. Pour into silicone gummy molds (1-2 teaspoon per cavity).
5. Refrigerate 30-60 minutes until set.
6. Unmold gummies.
7. Mix sugar and citric acid in bowl, toss gummies to coat for sparkle and classic Sidecar rim tang.
8. Let air-dry uncovered 24 hours for slight skin (classic gummy texture).

Each gummy contains approximately 10mg THC (based on 10g of 15% THC flower divided into 50 pieces; actual potency varies—start with half a gummy and wait 2 hours). The cognac and orange liqueur give authentic Sidecar brightness—alcohol softens set slightly, so molds help. Store in airtight container in fridge up to 2 weeks.
