Important Edible Safety Note
Cannabis edibles can take longer to feel than inhaled cannabis and may last longer. Potency depends on the cannabis tincture, the amount used, how evenly it is mixed, and the serving size. Start with a low serving, wait before taking more, label infused foods clearly, and store them securely away from children, pets, and anyone who could mistake them for non-infused food. This recipe is for adults in places where cannabis use is legal; follow your local laws.
Ingredients
- 1 cup strong hibiscus tea (cooled)
- ¼ cup lime juice
- 2 tbsp agar-agar powder (not gelatin)
- 2–3 tbsp maple syrup or agave
- 2–3 ml cannabis tincture (alcohol or oil-based)
Equipment
- Saucepan or pot
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Silicone gummy molds
Before You Start
Measure the cannabis tincture before simmering the hibiscus mixture, pour into molds, and refrigerate until 30 gummies are set.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a small saucepan, whisk hibiscus tea, lime juice, sweetener, and agar.
- Bring to a simmer and stir constantly for 3–4 minutes until thickened.
- Remove from heat, stir in cannabis tincture.
- Pour into silicone molds and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes until set.
- Portion into 30 gummies.
Dosing and Portioning Notes
Potency depends on the strength of your cannabis tincture, the amount used, how evenly it is mixed, and the final serving size. If the cannabis tincture is not labeled with usable potency information, dosing cannot be calculated from the recipe alone. Use the listed 30 gummies to plan measured portions, and calculate dose from the labeled infusion strength before eating.
Tips for Best Results
- Add the cannabis tincture only after hot mixtures cool slightly, then stir thoroughly so the serving is evenly mixed.
- Mix thoroughly before shaping, then form pieces of similar size so the 30 gummies are easy to track.
- Refrigerate the molds until the gummies are fully set before unmolding.
Storage and Serving
Serve immediately. For safety, make only what you plan to serve and do not store infused leftovers.
Keep infused food counted, clearly labeled, and secured until serving. Do not leave infused food on counters, tables, or anywhere children, pets, or guests could reach it by accident. Discard anything that was left out, unlabeled, unattended, or cannot be clearly identified.
