You probably have noticed that many people have found CBD to be a great remedy to deal with many problems such as pain, inflammation, sleep issues, anxiety, depression, etc. especially when it can be consumed in multiple ways such as oil, gummies, edibles, drinks and so on.
It is true that a lot of people do not have the time or the money to deal with prescribed drugs, so the need for CBD to be used as a treatment is increasing every single day.
However, if you have ever tried CBD, you probably already know that it doesn’t have the best taste, so it’s quite normal that you are looking for a new way to start taking your daily dose.
Mixing it with water or juice ruins your drink, cooking it with cookies or other edibles is also not the best option because it takes up too much of your time and using a tincture can be difficult. You do not want to overdose and ruin your day because you feel too mellow, right?
Fortunately, there is a much simpler and enjoyable way to take CBD and that is through gummies.
The idea for gummy bears has been around for more than one hundred years and people simply love them no matter their age. They are not too sweet, but they are sweet enough to satisfy your needs and are a bit fruity to keep them fresh. A gummy definitely has the best balance for fresh and sweet.
So, why not use this type of candy to consume your daily CBD intake. Just get two or three gummies and pop them in your mouth and you won’t have to worry about the rest of the day.
Should I make CBD gummies at home?
Of course, there are various edibles with CBD that you could purchase, but they still are not as efficient as cooking your own edibles. They either have too much concentration of CBD or too little and the taste could be bad too. You want something that will be tasty and that will have the correct amount of concentration. Gummy bears are the perfect option for anyone who likes candy or sweets.
There are some shops that will sell premade gummies with CBD, but buying a new pack every single week can become a hassle and can be quite costly. You do not want to spend all of your money on candy in just a few months.
To help you decide whether you should make them at home or purchase them, here are some convincing reasons:
Price
The main reason why you should consider making them all by yourself is the pricing. Homemade ones will always be a much cheaper option than purchasing branded packs. You won’t have to worry about purchasing packaging since you can keep them in anything you want. We recommend either in a vacuum seal bag for food or a jar and then pop them in the fridge. Whenever you need one, just open up the bag or the jar, whichever you want to use and just eat one, it’s that easy.
To give you a better idea of the pricing on this type of product, we found that the cheapest pack of CBD gummies was $35. These packs come with either ten or fifteen gummy bears which means you will have to purchase at least one bag a week depending on the number of gummies you will eat a day. This can accumulate to $500 a month which is simply too much. You could make a pack of 30 gummies by yourself for half the price.
Legal reasons
A lot of countries around the world have banned the sale of candies infused with CBD because of the implication that they could be sold to children. Some countries have made products that contain CBD completely legal which means the only thing left to do is create those candies on your own. Of course, you should do a bit of research to find out about the rules and regulations in your country on this subject.
Flavors
No matter what you are cooking, there’s nothing tastier than eating something that you have prepared on your own. Just like with any food, the same applies to gummy bears too. You get to pick your own flavor, whether its strawberry, watermelon, lemon, orange or whatever it is you like.
When purchasing a branded pack, you might be met with candy that is simply too sweet or bland. If you are looking for CBD oil without flavor for your gummy bears, check out RoyalCBD.
A quick tip: add a bit of citric acid to give the gummies a bit of a sour taste, if you want to.
Ingredients
- Naturally, to start this process you will need CBD. We recommend you get oil tincture because it is the most accurate way to add it to your gummy bears.
- 7 tablespoons of gelatin
- 2 tablespoon coconut water
- 2-3 tablespoon of sugar or honey (for sweetness)
- Depending on the flavors you want, you will need to choose what type of juices you want to use. Our personal favorite is a blend of cherry and orange juice. You could also do a blend of lemon juice and orange juice. A tablespoon of each will do the job
- Food dye
Instructions
Once you have gathered all of your ingredients, it’s time to start.
- First mix the 8 tablespoons of gelatin powder with half a cup of water in a glass bowl. Mix it well and add more water if needed.
Bring the coconut water to a boil in a saucepan and then let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
- Then add in the flavors you want whether it’s the cherry, orange or lemon juice and the sweetener (honey, sugar or whatever it is you have picked). Bring this mixture to boil again and let it simmer again
- While whisking quickly slowly start adding in the gelatin that you previously prepared
- While the heat is still on low add in the amount of CBD oil you want with the tincture.
- If you have dye prepared, add it now to give the gummies a bit of color.
- Slowly start pouring the mix into the gummy bear molds to get the shape you are looking for.
All you are left to do is put them in the refrigerator, wait at least half an hour and you are done.
