If you're excited to start, let's break down this recipe into manageable steps, making sure to cover all bases, from ingredients to safety tips.
The Essential Ingredients and Gear
Before you begin, gather your ingredients and equipment. Apart from the Levo, you'll need:
- Cannabis flower or distillate (ensure it's lab-tested for potency)
- Corn syrup or simple syrup
- Sugar or regular gummy bear flavoring
- Pectin (or agar agar)
- Lemon juice (or citric acid)
- Gummy bear molds
- Food coloring (optional)
Understanding the Levo Infuser
If you're new to the Levo, familiarize yourself with its functions. It's designed to heat cannabis gently, preserving terpenes and cannabinoids. recreational users consistently achieve 50-60% extraction efficiency.
For this recipe, we'll use Levo's 'Activate' mode to decarb our cannabis, then infuse the distillate into sugar syrup for our gummy bears. Remember, Levo's activation mode does not fully extract cannabinoids; you'll need to infuse with a solvent or use distillate.
Choosing Your Cannabis Strain
Select a strain that complements your preferences. High THC strains deliver more potent effects, while CBD-rich strains offer a clearer high and potential medicinal benefits. Indica-leaning strains are relaxing, while Sativa-dominant ones are energizing.
For gummy bears, consider balanced hybrid strains for a well-rounded high. Recreational users might enjoy the uplifting qualities ofparsed or the soothing effects ofGirl Scout Cookies
Infusing Cannabis Distillate into Syrup
Now that we're set up, let's begin. Start by activating your cannabis using the Levo:
- Grind your cannabis and place it in Levo's activation pod
- Insert the pod into the Levo, selecting 'Activate' and choosing your desired temperature (250°F is standard)
- Set the time for 45-60 minutes
Next, infuse the activated cannabis into your syrup:
- Add your cannabis, sugar, and water to Levo's infusion pod
- Insert the pod, select 'Infuse', and choose your desired temperature (165°F works well)
- Set the time for 2-3 hours (longer infusions result in stronger-flavored gummies)
Preparing the Pectin Mixture
While your cannabis-infused syrup infuses, prepare your pectin mixture:
- In a small pot, combine water and your chosen thickener (pectin or agar agar)
- Heat and stir until dissolved
- Add your preferred flavoring, citric acid, and food coloring (if using)
Combining and Molding
Once your infusions are complete, combine your mixtures:
- Strain your cannabis syrup into a large pitcher
- Add your pectin mixture and corn syrup
- Stir well to combine
Finally, pour the mixture into your molds, tapping them gently on the counter to release air bubbles. Allow them to set at room temperature for several hours, then refrigerate for an additional few hours before unmolding.
Safety and Dosage Tips
Always start low and go slow with cannabis edibles. Begin with a 5mg dose, and wait an hour before consuming more. Remember, everyone metabolizes cannabis differently, so it's essential to find your personal sweet spot.
Store your gummy bears in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should keep for about two weeks. And while they might look innocuous, keep them out of reach of children and pets.
