If you're looking for a delicious way to consume CBD oil, create your own gummies ! These chewy bites are quick to make and simple to customize. Heat juice, lemonade, or a sports drink along with sweetener and your choice of gelatin or agar powder. Then, fill a silicone gummy mold with the mixture and refrigerate it until the gummies are firm. Peel away the mold and enjoy your fruity treats.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 ml) of a flavored beverage, such as juice or lemonade
- 2 tablespoons (40 g) of corn syrup
- 1 ounce unflavored gelatin (equivalent to 4 seven-gram packets)
- 1 1 ⁄ 2 teaspoons (7.4 ml) of CBD oil in any strength
Makes about 30 gummies
- 1 cup (240 ml) of a flavored beverage, such as fruit juice or lemonade
- 2 tablespoons (42 g) of honey or agave
- 1 1/2 teaspoons (6 g) of agar powder
- 1 1 ⁄ 2 teaspoons (7.4 ml) of CBD oil in any strength
Makes about 30 gummies
Steps
-
Spray a silicone gummy mold with nonstick cooking spray. Get out your choice of silicone molds so you have about 30 gummy cavities to fill. Then, spray the inside of the mold with nonstick cooking spray, which helps the gummies release easily. Place the greased mold on a baking sheet and set it aside. [1] X Research source
- Use as many molds as you need to equal 30 gummies. For example, you could use 2 molds if they both have 15 cavities.
- If you prefer, brush the inside of the mold with melted coconut oil.
Tip: Ensure that the baking sheet or tray will fit inside your refrigerator.
-
Pour a flavored beverage, corn syrup, and gelatin into a measuring jug. Put 1 cup (240 ml) of a flavored beverage into a microwave-safe measuring jug or bowl. Add 2 tablespoons (40 g) of corn syrup and 4 1-ounce (7 g) packets of unflavored gelatin. [2] X Research source- Try making CBD gummies with lemonade, sports drink, or juice. Just don't use juice that contains pineapple, kiwi, mango, ginger root, papaya, or figs since these prevent the gelatin from setting.
- Mixing the gummy liquid in a measuring jug makes it easier to pour the liquid into the mold.

Stir the gummy mixture and let it sit for 1 minute. Use a spoon to stir the gelatin and corn syrup into the liquid. As the liquid rests, the powdered gelatin will hydrate, but won't dissolve completely. [3] X Research source
- The gelatin will dissolve as you heat the liquid in the microwave.
-
Microwave the liquid for 1 minute and stir at the halfway point. Put the measuring jug into the microwave and heat the gummy liquid on full power for 30 seconds. Stir the mixture well and microwave it for another 30 seconds. Then, stir the mixture again to help the gelatin dissolve completely. [4] X Research source
- If you still see grainy gelatin in the liquid, microwave the mixture for another 30 seconds and stir it again.
-
Let the mixture rest for 15 minutes. Wear oven mitts to remove the jug from the microwave and set it on a wire rack. Leave the gummy mixture to cool for at least 15 minutes so it begins to thicken a little and look like gel. [5] X Research source
- Avoid stirring the gummy mixture as it sets up.
-
Stir in 1 1 ⁄ 2 teaspoons (7.4 ml) of CBD oil. You can use any strength of CBD oil or use a CBD oil that also has THC. If you want mild-strength CBD gummies, use a 50mg CBD oil. For stronger CBD gummies, use a higher-strength oil, such as a 5,000mg CBD oil. You can find a variety of flavored CBD oils online here . [6] X Research source
- This recipe creates 30 gummies that each have between 5 to 10 drops of CBD oil in them.
-
Pour the mixture into the greased mold. Slowly pour the liquid into each cavity of the mold. Ensure that you fill each cavity to the top so the gummies are easy to remove from the mold. [7] X Research source
- If your mold came with a pipette , use it to squeeze small amounts of the mixture into each cavity.
-
Refrigerate the gummies for 30 minutes. Place the baking sheet with the mold into the refrigerator and chill the gummies until they're firm. Check them after 30 minutes to see if they're completely set. [8] X Research source
-
Remove the CBD gummies from the mold. To get the gummies out of the mold, slowly peel the mold back and away from the gummies. Keep peeling the mold back so all of the gummies fall out. [9] X Research source
- Store the CBD gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use them within 1 week.

Put the flavored beverage, honey, and agar powder in a small saucepan. Set the saucepan on the stove and pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of a flavored beverage, such as fruit juice or lemonade. Add 2 tablespoons (42 g) of honey or agave along with 1 1/2 teaspoons (6 g) of agar powder . [10] X Research source
Tip: Avoid using juice that contains pineapple, kiwi, mango, ginger root, papaya, or figs because these make it harder for the agar to set.
-
Whisk the mixture and let it sit for 5 minutes. Whisk until the honey and agar powder are incorporated. Then, let the agar powder hydrate for 5 minutes. [11] X Research source
- Keep in mind that the agar won't dissolve until you heat the liquid.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir or whisk the gummy mixture constantly to help the agar powder dissolve. Continue to heat it until the liquid bubbles near the center of the pot. [12] X Research source
-
Simmer the mixture for 2 to 3 minutes. Keep stirring or whisking as the gummy mixture cooks and the agar dissolves. Turn off the burner once the agar is completely dissolved and the mixture thickens a little.
- Stir slowly so the liquid doesn't spatter out of the pot and burn you.
-
Turn off the burner and stir in 1 1 ⁄ 2 teaspoons (7.4 ml) of CBD oil. Slowly stir in CBD oil in any strength you prefer. You could use 50mg CBD oil for mild gummies or a CBD oil with up to 5,000mg CBD for stronger gummies.
- Purchase CBD oil with or without THC depending on whether you want to experience psychoactive events.
-
Spray a silicone gummy mold with nonstick spray and set it on a tray. Get out a gummy mold that has about 30 small cavities. If you can't find a mold with this many cavities, use a few smaller ones to equal 30 cavities. Spray the inside of the cavity and place it on a baking sheet or tray. [13] X Research source
- If you prefer, brush the cavities with melted coconut oil instead of using nonstick cooking spray.
-
Use a pipette to fill the gummy mold with the mixture. Insert a clean pipette into the gummy mixture and squeeze the liquid into each greased cavity. Fill the cavities to the very top so your gummies are the right size. [14] X Research source
- If you don't have a pipette, use a small spoon to slowly pour the liquid into each cavity.
-
Refrigerate the gummies for 30 minutes. Place the tray with the filled mold into the refrigerator. Chill the CBD gummies until they're completely firm. Because the gummies are so small, they'll set up in about 30 minutes. [15] X Research source
-
Remove the CBD gummies from the silicone mold. Take the sheet out of the fridge and slowly peel the silicone mold back and away from the gummies. The gummies should fall out as you pull the mold away. [16] X Research source
- Store the CBD gummies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

You can easily make your own CBD oil gummies right at home using a few simple ingredients. First, grease a silicone gummy mold with nonstick cooking spray. Use more than one mold if needed so you have room to make around 30 gummies. Next, pour 1 cup (240 mL) of lemonade, juice, or another flavored drink into a microwave-safe bowl. Add 2 tablespoons (40 g) of corn syrup followed by 4 1-ounce (7 g) packets of unflavored gelatin. Stir everything together and let it sit for 1 minute. Then, microwave the gummy mixture for 1 minute, stirring it once after 30 seconds. Remove the mixture and let it sit for 15 minutes. Next, add 1 ½ teaspoons (7.5 mL) of CBD oil and stir it into the mixture. Use any strength CBD oil you’d like. For mild gummies, try using 50 mg CBD oil. For stronger gummies, use 5,000 mg CBD oil. Pour the gummy mixture into the greased mold and refrigerate the gummies for 30 minutes. Pop the CBD gummies out of the mold and enjoy! Each gummy will have around 5 to 10 drops of CBD oil in it. Store your CBD gummies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
