Homemade CBD Gummies, Recipe Included

I have had great luck with these gummies, and am finally ready to share the recipe! I adapted mine from the Leafly website, which was adapted from some other blog website.

Why CBD? Mostly for overall health and wellness, but it can target certain problem areas too. Digestion, skin irritations, moodiness, relief from stress, sleeplessness, nausea, and even hardcore health problems such as cancer and diabetes. The research and proven data is out there, all you need to do is look for it. It has also been proven that the government and its "hound dogs" specifically targeted cannabis out of racism for the users, not the plant itself. Find a better, and more comical explanation, in a book titled Weed the People by Bruce Barcott. I was in full gear right from the get-go. You will not be disappointed. The best part is the author admits to being anti-cannabis before knowing the FACTS.

Regardless of its history, I know from personal experience that CBD works, and CBD in gummy bear form makes it much easier to swallow, especially for little kids. Not everyone enjoys swallowing drops of oil, even with a flavor added. I had nausea from morning sickness, took some Natural Flavor CBD and immediately gagged and threw it up. After recovering, I tried the peppermint flavor and was fine, and the nausea was gone in 10 minutes.

On to the recipe:

Green Tea CBD Gummy Bears

Start to finish: 45 minutes (active: 30 minutes)

Approximate dosage: Potency may vary widely depending on your tincture and mold size.

Ingredients:
•1/2 oz CBD tincture (I use half a bottle of the 500 mg Hempworx Natural Flavor; divide the total milligrams in your tincture by number of gummies to calculate the approximate dosage of each bear)
•2 green tea bags (or 4 grams total, loose leaf tea)
•3 tablespoons creamed honey
•½ cup coconut water
•¾ cup tart cherry juice (apple cider or other juice works fine too)
•1 ½ tablespoons agar-agar powder or gelatin
•⅛ teaspoon Himalayan pink salt

•Pour coconut water into small saucepan. Bring to boil, then steep green tea bags in coconut water for up to 10 minutes (but no less than 4 minutes). Compost tea bags.
•Add cherry juice, salt, and creamed honey to saucepan. Stir gently until mixture is homogenous. •Return mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer.
•Add agar-agar powder and whisk constantly for 3–4 minutes. (The texture of agar-agar can be unsatisfying for folks used to the gelatin-based gummy bears. You can replace with gelatin, if you’d like.)
•Remove from heat, and allow to cool to about 120°F, then add your desired dosage of CBD tincture (alcohol, coconut oil, or glycerin tinctures are all fine) and whisk thoroughly until fully incorporated.
•Transfer gummy bear liquid to condiment bottle or dropper. You will need to work quickly.
•Fill molds with liquid.
•Transfer mold to refrigerator and let set for 15 minutes. (With my molds, I find it easier to freeze.)
•Remove bears from tray and store in airtight container. (I keep in the fridge.)
•Enjoy one or two at a time in 30 minute intervals until desired dosage is reached—that is, stop before you become the GIF below. (Editor’s note: CBD bears will not make you “trip bear balls.”)

Tip: Pour in gelatin slowly to avoid clumping, and stir constantly!

Let me know if you have any questions, or if you make it differently, or how it turned out! I want to hear your CBD victory stories! My kids have a few of their own. My mom finally took the plunge and ordered some CBD Keto coffee creamer from me. However you have to ingest it, DO IT, I promise you will be forever grateful.
