    Why You Will Love This Recipe

    With so many different gummy recipes available online, with different instructions and methods, it can get overwhelming trying to pick the perfect one.

    It's most important for most people to choose a recipe based on what cannabis products they already have to work with.

    If you have an alcohol-based cannabis tincture like the Green Dragon or Golden Dragon (QWET) tincture, FECO or RSO, or any other type of cannabis concentrate, this is the recipe for you!

    By following these easy directions, you can create a delicious cannabis gummy with perfect texture and consistency with no separation or sweating.

    It is important to note that gummy taste and texture preferences are subjective, which is why I recommend you try this recipe with *non* cannabis-infused products first.

    That way, you know if you like the taste and texture of the final product before incorporating your hard-earned cannabis.

    If you would prefer to skip the cooking process and purchase gummies, I have delicious THC Bliss, CBD Revive, CBN Sleep, and CBG Focus gummies available for purchase in my online shop.

    Ingredients needed to make cannabis gummies

    Ingredients Notes

    • 1 cup water - Divided into two ½ cups. You can use water or juice. Just know that when you use juice, you increase the opportunity for the gummies to mold.
    • ¾ ounces unflavored gelatin - For this recipe, we will use ¾ ounces of gelatin, equivalent to 3 Knox packs. This recipe will not work without the addition of gelatin
    • ½ cup tincture or 1mL concentrate - An alcohol-based tincture, FECO/RSO, or other cannabis concentrates like distillate. If starting with an alcohol tincture, you will want to evaporate the alcohol first.
    • ½ teaspoon lecithin - Optional, as these gummies don't separate like the oil-based ones. If you have it, you can use liquid lecithin. If you skip this ingredient, your gummies will be fine, as we only use a small bit of concentrate
    • 1 teaspoon lemon juice - or mold inhibitor; see notes below.
    • 3 ounces flavored gelatin - This is equivalent to one small box. Any flavor you want. Note that flavored gelatin typically comes in a few different package sizes, 0.3 ounces, 3-ounce, and 6-ounce. For this recipe, we will be using one 3-ounce package
    • 10 drops flavoring oils - Available in a wide variety of flavors, these oils can help mask the cannabis taste and make the flavor pop

    Note: a complete list of ingredients with amounts and printable instructions is located in the recipe card below.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    • Step 1 - Evaporate the alcohol from your tincture, if needed. Prepare your workstation. Gather your equipment and measure out your ingredients.
    • Step 2 - In a small bowl, add ½ cup of the water or juice. Stir the unflavored gelatin into the liquid. Set aside to bloom.
    • Step 3 - Prepare a double boiler. Once near boiling, turn to low and simmer.
    • Step 4 - Add the FECO or concentrate and lecithin (if using). Allow the oil to melt. Turn off the heat and set it aside while working on the next step.

    • Step 5 - Bring the remaining water or juice to a boil in a separate pan.
    • Step 6 - Add the mold inhibitor and the flavored gelatin. Mix well to dissolve, then turn off the heat.
    • Step 7 - Pour the gelatin mixture into the double boiler containing the oil and lecithin. Whisk well.
    • Step 8 - Add the reserved bowl of bloomed gelatin to the double boiler. 
    A four step image collage showing the next four steps needed to make cannabis gummies
    • Step 9 - Add the flavoring oil drops.
    • Step 10 - Whisk vigorously for 3-5 minutes.
    • Step 11 - With a pipette or squeeze bottle, add the gummy mixture to your molds of choice.
    • Step 12 - Allow the molds to sit and set for at least 30 minutes before removing the gummies from the wells.
    A four step image collage showing the next four steps needed to make cannabis gummies
    • Step 13 -Remove the gummies from the molds.
    • Step 14 - If air drying, place the gummies in a single later on a wire baking rack. Allow the gummies to dry at room temperature for 24-72 hours. *See air drying notes below.
    • Step 15 - If you plan to add sugar or citric acid to your gummies, do so after they have been fully air-dried. Do not try to do this immediately after they come out of the molds; they will melt.
    • Step 16 - Store in an airtight container and enjoy!

    Note: complete step-by-step printable instructions are located in the recipe card below.

    Storage Instructions

    Once removed from the gummy molds, you can choose to either air-dry these gummies or simply store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

    How To Air Dry Cannabis Gummies

    While it's an extra step, many people prefer to air dry their gummies for enhanced texture, less moisture, and better shelf stability.

    To successfully air dry or cure the cannabis gummies, you first need to remove them from the molds.

    Once free from the molds, you can place them on a wire baking rack, parchment paper, or a paper towel. Allow these gummies to dry at room temperature for 12-72 hours.

    The time frame is your choice and is based on your preferred texture and consistency. Try one every few hours to find what you like best.

    Many people will drape a piece of cheesecloth over the gummies to prevent any contaminants from falling on them. If you do this, ensure you are using a breathable fabric.

    If you have a food dehydrator available, you can place the gummies to speed up the process.

    Note: If you use a food dehydrator to dry your gummies, you must ensure it does not use heat. Any low-temperature dehydrators (~90°) will cause your gummies to melt. 

    Finally, some people prefer to lightly dust their air-dried gummies with a small amount of cornstarch to remove any last bits of moisture.

    Alternate Infusion Options

    Below I will go over all of the infusion options that will work with this recipe in detail, including the pros and cons of each.

    Cannabis Tincture Gummies by Emily Kyle

    Gummies Made with Alcohol-Based Tincture

    A favorite option for making these gummies is to use a cannabis-infused alcohol tincture.

    Using a tincture for your infusion will result in a more clear gummy that is less dense and more jiggly than a gummy made with coconut oil.

    Making a cannabis tincture is fairly straightforward and requires just decarbed cannabis and high-proof grain alcohol.

    If you haven't made a cannabis tincture yet, get my Green dragon instructions or Golden dragon instructions.

    You will need to have this ready before starting the gummy-making process.

    You will then want to evaporate the alcohol in your tincture, leaving you with FECO or full-extract cannabis oil.

    Gummies Made with FECO or RSO

    Full-extract cannabis oil, also known as FECO or RSO, is the tincture mentioned above that has had all of the alcohol already evaporated off.

    Yes, you can safely evaporate the alcohol off of an alcohol tincture to make full-extract cannabis oil.

    It does not matter if you start this process with a tincture or FECO.

    Just remember that already-made FECO is more concentrated and potent than a cannabis tincture that still contains alcohol.

    Gummies Made with Cannabis Concentrates

    Just like FECO or RSO is a cannabis concentrate, there are many other types of cannabis concentrates on the market today.

    From distillate or CO2 oil to shatter or wax, all can be used in place of FECO for this recipe.

    You will want to ensure that your concentrate is decarbed first if needed. If you're unsure, you can first check out my concentrate guide here.

    How much you will add is up to you and your personal tolerance and dosage preferences. 1mL or 1 gram is a good place to start.

    Frequently Asked Cannabis Gummy Questions

    Below are answers to some of the most important frequently asked cannabis gummy questions from my Well With Cannabis Facebook Community that have not been addressed above.

    How much FECO/RSO to use?

    You can add as much or as little FECO or RSO as you’d like depending on your tolerance and preferences. Remember, FECO/RSO can be very potent; even just 1mL may be a lot to start with, so be sure to taste-test carefully and slowly. If you want them super strong, you can add more, up to 5mL. The mL volume is so small it doesn’t make a difference in the recipe's texture.

    How should I store these gummies?

    Once removed from the gummy molds, you can choose to either air-dry these gummies or simply store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

    Can I freeze these gummies?

    If you don't plan on air drying or consuming your gummies within two weeks, you can easily freeze them. Freezing gummies does not alter the potency of the gummies and, in fact, may even help preserve potency over time.

    Can I make these gummies with sugar-free gelatin?

    Yes! We made these gummies with sugar-free flavored gelatin, and they turned out just fine. Simply swap a 0.3oz packet of sugar-free gelatin for the traditional 3-ounce packet of regular gelatin.

    Can I toss these gummies in sugar?

    Yes, but only after they have been cured or air-dried for at least 24 hours. If you try to coat them in sugar before air drying, they will melt and turn into a wet, soupy mess.

    Equipment

    • Measuring cups and spoons
    • Small saucepan
    • Small mixing bowl
    • Double Boiler
    • Whisk
    • Funnel
    • Squeeze bottle
    • Baking sheets
    • Gummy bear molds
    • Cannabis leaf gummy molds

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 cup water or juice divided
    • ¾ ounce unflavored gelatin or 3 Knox packs
    • ½ cup cannabis alcohol tincture or 1mL FECO/RSO/cannabis concentrate
    • ½ teaspoon liquid lecithin optional
    • 1 teaspoon lemon juice or mold inhibitor *see notes below
    • 3 ounces flavored gelatin or 1 small box
    • 10 drops Lorann super-strength flavoring oils or more if desired

    Instructions

    • If you haven't already, evaporate the alcohol from your cannabis tincture. Directions below, if needed. While doing this, gather your equipment and measure out your ingredients. Place your gummy molds on baking trays, so they don't flop when being moved.
    • In a small bowl, add ½ cup of water or juice. Stir the unflavored gelatin into the liquid. This is called blooming the gelatin. The mixture will become very thick. Set aside.
    • Next, prepare a double boiler by putting one cup of water in the bottom pan over medium-high heat.  Once boiling, turn the heat to low and let simmer.
    • Add the reduced tincture, prepared FECO/RSO, or other concentrate and the lecithin (if using) to the top of the double boiler. Allow the mixture to warm slightly. Turn off the heat while working on the next step.
    • In a separate small saucepan on the stove, add the remaining ½ cup of water or juice. Turn the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.
    • Once boiling, add the lemon juice or mold inhibitor and the flavored gelatin packet to the hot liquid. Whisk well to dissolve. Turn off the heat.
    • Carefully and slowly pour the flavored gelatin mix into the double boiler with the reduced tincture/FECO and lecithin. Whisk consistently until all ingredients are incorporated.
    • Take the reserved bowl of bloomed gelatin and add it to the double boiler. 
    • Add your desired amount for flavoring oil drops.
    • Whisk vigirously for 3-5 minutes. You can use an immersion blender to speed up the process if desired.
    • Working quickly, using a squeeze bottle, pipette or piston funnel, add the gummy mixture to your gummy molds of choice.
    • Allow the filled molds to sit and set for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or in the refrigerator before attempting to remove the gummies from the molds.
    • Carefully remove the gummies from the molds. Decide whether you want to store them in the fridge immediately or allow them to air dry.
    • If air drying, place the gummies in a single later on a wire baking rack. Allow the gummies to dry at room temperature for 24-72 hours, depending on your texture preferences. *See air drying notes below.
    • If you plan to add sugar or citric acid to your gummies, do so after they have been fully air dried. Do not try to do this immediately after they come out of the molds, they will melt.
    • Store in an airtight container and enjoy!

    Notes

    • Run a test batch first: I recommend you make one *non-infused* test batch of gummies before trying with your actual infusion to ensure you like the process, taste, and consistency of the final product. This ensures no good stuff gets wasted.
    • Evaporate the alcohol: Take extreme caution when evaporating the alcohol from a tincture as the fumes are flammable. Ensure proper ventilation and common-sense safety measures are in place. If you are using a gas stove, check out these alternative safe evaporation options. Be sure to sway from an open flame. Allow at least 75% of the alcohol to evaporate from the tincture before using in this recipe. The tincture will significantly reduce in volume, leaving a sticky black oil known as FECO.
    • Using other concentrates: If you are using cannabis concentrates instead of FECO/RSO, check this guide first to see if the concentrate needs to be decarbed.
    • Unflavored gelatin: If you want an extra firm gummy, use 1¼ ounce (5 Knox packs) of gelatin.
    • Lecithin: Optional, as these gummies don't separate like the oil-based ones. If you have it, you can use liquid lecithin. If you skip this ingredient, your gummies will be fine as we are only using a small bit of concentrate.
    • Mold inhibitors: You can also use LorAnn Mold Inhibitor or potassium sorbate in place of the lemon juice for longer shelf stability.
    • When air drying:  Humidity will cause an issue of oil sweating if you are air-drying your gummies, especially if they are made with MCT oil. If you use a food dehydrator to dry your gummies, you must ensure it does not use heat.

      Why do you need to double broil your tinture & lecitin or knox Gelatin❓
      If your tinture is evaperated already would I ommit that double broil part & just add it to my gelatin mix❓espeically if lm using The knox❓ if I do still need to do this can you explain why please. Ty

    2. Emily Kyle

      May 07, 2022 at 10:22 am

      MF, the double boiler helps to ensure the temperature never gets too hot, which could happen with a regular pan and potentially damage your cannabinoids. The water in the double boiler can't get above 212 degrees F, keeping a more consistent and safe temperature.

      Thank you for this amazing recipe. Unfortunately I can’t get a hold of flavoring oils in my area, can I use alcohol-based flavoring concentrates instead?

    4. Emily Kyle

      June 07, 2022 at 9:54 am

      Hi there Hanady! I haven't worked with these products myself, so I can't say for sure, but I don't see why it wouldn't work 🙂 Let us know if you give it a try 🙂

      How would I use powdered lecithin instead of liquid in this recipe? I only had access to powdered sunflower lecithin but I am not quite sure what I'm doing lol

    6. Emily Kyle

      June 14, 2022 at 9:39 am

      Hey there AH! I just updated the directions to skip the lecithin if using powdered 🙂 These gummies don't need the lecithin quite as the oil-based ones do because we're using such a small bit of concentrate, and if you skip it, they still turn out fine!

      me being impatient & not wanting to finish reading all the directions before I started, & wouldn't you know it... it would not thicken up. so I added an xtra flavored gelatin & 1 packet of the unflavored gelatin with a dash of water added to bloom. the gummies turned out phenomenal, thick & dence, held together wonderfully. it was awesome! this is the nest & easiest recipe there is. thank you

    11. Emily Kyle

      July 27, 2022 at 2:30 pm

      Hey James! This recipe makes roughly 10 ounces, or 300mL which would give you approximately 300 gummies from a 1mL mold 😄

    12. Emily Kyle

      July 27, 2022 at 2:34 pm

    16. Emily Kyle

      October 29, 2022 at 12:30 pm

      Hey Nick! You will want to add a mold-inhibitor like LorAnn Mold Inhibitor or potassium sorbate in place of the lemon juice for longer shelf stability 🙂

      Love the website and thoroughness of your guides. I’m going to be making Golden Tincture. Your recipe says 1/2 cup. Is that BEFORE evaporation of the alcohol?

    18. Emily Kyle

      November 12, 2022 at 9:07 am

      Thank you so much, Paul! Yes, that is before evaporation 😀 Thanks for asking.

    19. Fran

      November 20, 2022 at 12:39 pm

      Whenever I make an alcohol based tincture, I always evaporate the alcohol out into vegetable glycerin for sublingual dosing. I followed this recipe using a half cup of canna glycerin and homemade elderberry syrup, instead of juice or FECO, and they came out perfectly.(And delicious). Now I can take my daily winter dose of immune boosting elderberry and cannabis in one gummy!

    20. Emily Kyle

      November 20, 2022 at 4:55 pm

      Now, this sounds amazing, Fran 😀 Thank you so much for the fabulous idea; I'm going to try it myself!

      At what point do you use lemon juice as a preservative? Are there longer lasting options to preserve gummies?

    22. Emily Kyle

      December 15, 2022 at 12:02 pm

      Hey Rich. You can use lemon just as a preservative if you plan to consume them within 1-2 weeks. You can also use Lorann Mold Inhibitor or just potassium sorbate in place of the lemon juice for longer shelf stability.

      How many gummies does this recipe make? I am looking to make strong gummies I have 1 gram of shatter. 800 mg thc

    26. Miranda

      January 12, 2023 at 5:41 pm

      If I am not using flavored gelatin can I use unflavored in its place?

    27. Renée from Team EKN

      January 13, 2023 at 3:10 pm

      Hi Miranda. You can definitely use unflavored. I would recommend making a non-infused batch of gummies first to make sure you like the taste. You're probably going to want to add additional flavor oils or juice. I hope this helps!

    28. Renée from Team EKN

      January 13, 2023 at 3:30 pm

      Hi Andrea! This recipe makes roughly 10 ounces, or 300mL which would give you approximately 300 gummies from a 1mL mold. With 800mg THC, 300 1mL gummies, each gummy will be approximately 2.6mg each. If you'd like them stronger, you can add more THC, or use less gummy mixture. If you used half, so 150mL, and add the full 800THC, each gummy will be approx. 5.3mg each. I hope this helps!

    29. Tay

      January 13, 2023 at 7:46 pm

      Can I still use the alcohol based tincture without evaporating the alcohol to make the gummies?

    30. Renée from Team EKN

      January 14, 2023 at 11:48 am

      Hi Tay. We don't recommend it for a few reasons. Alcohol can interfere with the setting properties of gelatin and the final product may not be potent enough. Also, gummies are made over high heat which is extremely dangerous as the fumes are highly flammable. I hope this helps!

    31. Rob

      February 04, 2023 at 12:25 pm

      If I use 1 gram of rso with 800 mg thc and my molds are 2 ml how many mg will each gummy be

    32. Renée from Team EKN

      February 05, 2023 at 3:29 pm

      Hi Rob. 800mg will be the total batch strength and you should be able to get approximately 145 [2ml] gummies. Each gummy will be approximately 5.5mg.
      If you get a different amount of gummies, just divide 800 by the amount of gummies you end up with and that'll be the strength of each gummy.

      I have green dragon that I reduced 50% how much of this can I add to the recipe?

    34. Tamie Amoroso

      February 16, 2023 at 1:46 pm

      Hi, can you advise measurements (such as tincture/gummy ratio, etc) by melting down store bought gummies?

    35. Renée from Team EKN

      February 16, 2023 at 2:23 pm

      Hi Yvonne. The recipe calls for 1/2 cup of cannabis tincture, but at least 75% of the alcohol needs to be evaporated from that before using in this recipe. The tincture will significantly reduce in volume, leaving a sticky black oil known as FECO.

    36. Renée from Team EKN

      February 16, 2023 at 2:42 pm

      Hi Tamie. 10oz of melted gummies with 1/2 cup of tincture is a good starting point. You'll want to evaporate at least 75% of the alcohol before adding to any gummy mixture though. It will leave behind mostly FECO, which is a dark, sticky oil. You can add that directly in with the melted gummy mixture and whisk for about 5-10 minutes for even distribution of the FECO.

      I am trying your recipe today for the first time (slightly modified). Prior I was using a recipe that required cooked candy syrup and corn syrup, don't need all that sugar. I normally use Guar Gum and citric acid in my recipe and I use 4 mil RSO. I believe one of those product are causing foaming when mixed, so half of my gummies have a foamy top. Have you experienced this problem?

      Hi Randy. I had this problem two nights ago! The foam actually has to do with the mixing of the gelatin. If foam develops on top, you have stirred too much. You can simply skim off the foam from the top of the mix and slow down your stirring a bit. If you have already poured into molds, you can melt the gummies back down and repour if the foam is bothersome to you. I hope this helps!

      Is it really necessary to boil off the alcohol from your tincture

      Hi Brodie. You should allow at least 75% of the alcohol to evaporate from the tincture for a few reasons. Alcohol can interfere with the setting properties of gelatin and gummies are made over high heat which is extremely dangerous as the alcohol fumes are highly flammable. I hope this helps!

      How could I make this recipe using powder lecithin?

      Hi Jane. You'll want to dissolve the powder into a tiny bit of water and then add into the double boiler with the concentrate you are using. However, these gummies don't need lecithin because we're using such a small bit of concentrate, so they'll still turn out good if you skip the it. I hope this helps!

      I had about a half cup of canna sugar so I used that instead of tincture or feco. I used cranberry juice instead of water, black cherry Jello and a full teaspoon of Lorann black cherry flavor. It worked beautifully!!!!

      I made this yesterday using RSO, lecithin and Loranne mold inhibitor. I let them dry overnight. Today I noticed that every gummy had some crystallization on them. Almost like little snowflakes. Did I do something wrong? My last batch didn’t do this, but I didn’t use the mold inhibitor before. Thanks!

      Hi Mary. Did you happen to boil the gelatin mixture? Boiling gelatin for too long will cause crystallization. It could also be that the flavored gelatin mixture didn't completely dissolve, causing the sugar to crystallize at the end. If you don't like your final product, you can melt down the gummies and re-pour into molds. I hope this helps!

      Should the 1/2 cup water in steps 2 and 5 adjust for the 2x and 4x recipes?

    48. Renée from Team EKN

      March 07, 2023 at 8:29 pm

      Hi Red77. Thank you for asking. Yes, for #2 and #5, you'll want to use half of what the recipe calls for. For 2 cups, you'll use 1 cup in each step and for 4 cups, you'll use 2 cups in each step. I hope this helps!

      Hi Ladies,

      Can I use a .o3 oz. package of sugar free jello in place of the 3 oz. regular box?

      If I’m wanting more potent gummies am I able to just use half of the other ingredients with the 1ml of rso?

    51. Renée from Team EKN

      March 16, 2023 at 4:18 pm

      Hi Karen. Absolutely! Simply swap the traditional 3oz packet of regular flavored gelatin for a 0.3oz packet of sugar-free gelatin. The weight difference comes from the lack of regular sugar.

    52. Renée from Team EKN

      March 16, 2023 at 4:25 pm

      Hi Ginger. Yes, you can half the recipe and use 1ml of RSO. You can also double the RSO if you want to make the full batch.

      I am looking to try this recipe out with a dry run and then with the FECO. I noticed everything ran about 2.5 to 5mg per gummy. Do you have any advice how could I elevate the mg per gummy with the same results?

    54. Renée from Team EKN

      March 20, 2023 at 10:40 am

      Hi GH. For more mg per gummy, you must use additional FECO or FECO with a stronger potency. I hope this helps!

      Hello, i am very happy to find you & your recipes,
      I am not sure if i am missing something or if it matters, when using reduced feco with small quantity what makes up for not having the bulk of the 1/2 cup of organic coconut oil based cannaoil.
      Thank you, keep up the great work, you have been a huge help to me

      Hi Jim. For FECO gummies, you use more unflavored gelatin than you would in the oil-based gummies. Emily works hard to continuously improve the cannabis education she offers and it’s always rewarding to receive such wonderful feedback. 🥰 Thank you!

      So far made this recipe twice with my mct oil mad with the “Blue Dream” I grew last summer. My doctor told me to grow my own because the industry is not regulated to check what chemicals they use to grow. I know my stuff is truly organic. Anyway my fiest batch were all sweaty the next morning and they never did stop and this batch isn’t as bad but I stirred it a bit too much. I just think canna/mct oil is difficult to prevent sweating so next batch will use organic coconut oil. I still have them drying on the counter and will leave them out to cure for a couple more days. Any advice appreciated!

    58. Renée from Team EKN

      Hi Mablake. There are a few reasons your gummies may be sweating when MCT oil is used; Not blooming the gelatin enough, getting the gelatin too hot, or not mixing enough. The most helpful advice I can give is to melt the gummies back down, add another packet of gelatin, and see if you can get them to firm back up. I hope this helps!

      Should I still boil or heat up my tincture if I used vegetable glycerin for making gummies?

      Hi there,
      I wanted to try making some gummies with my medical cannabis oil. It’s 20mg per ml so how much would each gummie be if I used just 1 ml of my straight oil?
      Thanks

    61. Renée from Team EKN

      April 28, 2023 at 9:18 am

      Hi Alan. Warming up the vegetable glycerin will make it easier to work with, but depending on what stage you're adding it in, the gelatin still needs to be boiled. What ingredients did you swap out for the vegetable glycerin?

    62. Renée from Team EKN

      April 28, 2023 at 9:41 am

      Hi Robert. I'd love to help you with this, but I need more information. What size is each gummy in the molds you use, and how many gummies total does the mold make? This recipe makes roughly 10 ounces, or 300mL, giving you approximately 300 gummies from a 1mL mold. At this, each gummy would be 0.06mg if you use only 1ml of 20mg oil. To get the dosage of each gummy, take the total mg of cannabis in your recipe and divide it by the total number of gummies you are making. Make sense?
