About The Recipe
Welcome to the flavourful world of cannabis infused gummies! In this guide, we'll delve into the art of crafting delectable cannabis gummies using MCT oil. Not just a simple recipe, but a journey into understanding the magic of MCT oil. Medium-Chain Triglycerides, or MCTs, are a type of fatty acid found in coconut oil, known for their swift digestion and absorption by the body.
Now, imagine combining the therapeutic properties of cannabis with the versatility of MCT oil, creating gummies that not only taste great but also offer a rapid and efficient delivery of cannabinoids.
Why MCT Oil?
Medium-Chain Triglyceride (MCT) oil, derived primarily from coconut oil, has gained popularity for more than just its pleasant taste. Its unique fatty acid composition, consisting of shorter chains, allows for quicker digestion and absorption in the body, providing a rapid source of energy. Beyond its energy-boosting properties, MCT oil is believed to support weight management by promoting a feeling of fullness and enhancing the body's ability to burn fat.
Additionally, MCTs have been associated with improved cognitive function and may even possess antimicrobial properties. Many individuals seeking these benefits may choose MCT oil over other oils, appreciating its versatility in various culinary applications and its potential contributions to overall well-being. Whether blended into coffee, used in cooking, or incorporated into cannabis-infused recipes, MCT oil offers a convenient and health-conscious option for those looking to enhance their daily nutrition.

Ingredient Substitutions
- Gummy Mix: I used the LEVO tropical peach gummy mix because it contains all the ingredients I need to make gummies, all in one convenient package! You can also get the ingredients separately which would be sugar, gelatin, and some type of flavouring for the gummies.
TIPS & TRICKS
- For the most accurate dosing, I recommend using the tCheck cannabis potency tester device to test the THC and/or CBD% of your homemade infused MCT oil. The tCheck is a compact at-home device that can test the THC and CBD % of your dried cannabis and cannabis infusions (ie. butter, coconut oil, MCT oil, extra virgin olive oil, and alcohol). Use my code here for $25 off your tCheck potency tester device. It takes less than 5 minutes to test the potency of your oil! After you finish testing the potency of your oil, I recommend using a label maker to mark the dosage for future reference.
- If you find that your gummies are sticking together, you can use cornstarch, potato starch, or even arrowroot powder to dust onto the gummies. Sugar will also work. To make it extra fancy, you can use sour sugar to make sour edibles!
- Store the edibles in a sealed tight glass container for up to 3 months.

FAQ
Q: How do I know the gummies are fully set and ready to remove from the molds?
A: The gummies are ready when they are firm to the touch and have a solid texture. Chilling them for 4-6 hours usually ensures they are fully set, but if you're unsure, let them chill up to 24 hours for the best results.
Q: How should I store the gummies to keep them fresh?
A: Store the gummies in an airtight glass container in a cool, dry place. Proper storage helps maintain their freshness and potency, and they can last for up to a month if kept away from heat and moisture.
