Who doesn’t want to eat a gummy that not only taste good but can help with your headache or any kind of pain you might be experiencing? And best of all, the version I make here is also vegan since I used agar agar powder instead of gelatin. If you are not vegan, you can use gelatin and follow the instructions on the package to make these gummies.
Agar agar is a vegan version of gelatin. It comes from an algae plant and thickens up almost like gelatin. I say almost because the agar agar powder gives the gummy a slightly different texture than what you might be used to from gelatin. Nevertheless, it is just as delicious! You can find agar agar powder in any Asian grocery stores or online on amazon (Linked below).
Couple of things to remember, CBD oil is not for everyone. If you haven’t tried it and want to give it a go, make sure you talk to your doctor and see if it is right for you. Also, the dosage I used for these gummies are quite low. So if you prefer a higher dosage, you can add more, or just eat more gummies!
If you like your gummies sweeter, you can also add sugar, honey, agave or any kind of sweetener you like to the mixture.
And a warning, these gummies are intended for adults to consume and not children. They look just like candy and taste just like it (since you cannot taste the CBD oil). Please make sure you put them in place where your children cannot get to.
You can be creative and use any types of juice to make these gummies or even use green tea, which I want to try!

CBD Gummy Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup your favourite fruit juice
- 1 tablespoon agar agar powder (try to get powder verus the flakes)
- 4 ml CBD oil (this dosage you should adjust to what you need, these gummies have about 5mg of CBD oil in each gummy)
Instructions
- Dissolve agar agar powder in juice and whisk together until thoroughly mixed (Use a small sauce pan so you don't have to wash another bowl)
- Heat over medium heat and let it come to a gentle boil. Once it starts to thicken up, turn off the heat.
- Add CBD oil to mixture and whisk until combined.
- Working quickly since the mixture will start thickening up as it cools, pour into molds. Refrigerate for 30 minutes and ENJOY!
can you just use gelatin instead of agar? same amount? thanks
Hi Karen! You can definitely use gelatin instead of agar agar powder. For gelatin, you will use 1 cup juice + 4 tablespoons of gelatin. You can follow the instructions on your gelatin package to dissolve! Enjoy your gummies! 🙂
How much oil do i use my oil is 500 mg im so confused
I love this idea :)! PS. your molds are adorable!
Thank you!!
Cant wait ti make these gummies but need to know mg amount used of oil?
I put 4ML of my CBD oil in this recipe so these gummies have about 5mg of CBD oil in each gummy. This will change depending on the type of CBD oil you are using.
They cannot ship to my area? It’s all legal in my state. ?
Sorry to hear! Maybe one day it will be legal where you live 🙂
How do i find out how many mg my cbd oil has
It should say on the bottle!
My oil is 500mg how much ml. Do i use for this recipe?
I use cannaentice.wakanna.com and they have a culinary oil that is great for this recipe I add 3 drops per gummy that yields 5 mg per gummy because each drop is 1.67 mg per drop.
If I’m using budder that was cooked down into oil, how much would I use to make a single 500mg bear? The mould I have a larger, probably jolly rancher size
Hi! It depends on the strength of your buds. You will have to first calculate how much cbd is in the oil you make and based on that you can calculate the dosage in your gummies. Feel free to email me [email protected] and we can chat further! 🙂
How long do these last, and how would you suggest storing them?
Thanks!!
In an airtight container in the fridge would be perfect. They last about 2 weeks in the fridge. Enjoy!
Hi! I was just curious if CBD isolate would work as a substitute for oil?
Hi Hannah, Yes you can use isolate instead!
Well I saw that you stated that it’s a different texture with agar agar. The ones I made were not gummy at all. Is that the different texture your referring to?
Yes agar agar will not give you the usual gummy texture we are used to since it is not the same thing as gelatin.
These were really good! Although I’m not sure if it’s cheaper to make your own gummies like this or to just buy the ones they sell. I’d have to do the math. Although if you make them yourself, you get to decide what shape they are, so there’s that at least 😛
Can you use Knox instead of agar?
Hi Frankie! Yes you can definitely use knox instead! You just have to follow the instructions on your gelatin package! 🙂
Will I still need to use juice?
Hi Frankie!
Yes you will use juice to flavour the gummies! Enjoy!
My oil is 500mg how much oil do i use to make this recipe?
would THC oil work for this recipe as well?
Hi Doug! yes you can use THC oil too but you will have to measure it according to how much THC you want in each gummy!
How many mg of CBD isolate should I use for this recipe.
I made these and my CBD oil leaked out of the gummies. I can never get the right!
Hi Rosie! you can try adding more agar agar or gelatin so that it binds it together more! good luck!
This reciept seems very tasty. I will surely try to cook my own CBD gummies 🙂
My tincture Bottle is 1200mg total with 30 servings (1ML = 40mg). Id like to have 20mg per gummy. How should I adjust the recipe since I’m adding more ml of cbd oil than your recipe?
Your recipe made 30 gummies in my mold(instead of 15). Here’s my Questions – My tincture Bottle is 1200mg total with 30 servings (1ML = 40mg). Id like to have 20mg per gummy. How should I adjust the recipe since I’m adding more ml of cbd oil than your recipe?
I tried this recipe but with corn starch it never became firm. So Hubby (chef that he is) told me to reheat the product and add 1 tablespoon of gelatin. Perfect
Thanks so much going to try more.
Hey, thanks for this recipe. I have tried a few recipes before, but never tried this agar agar powder in my recipe. Going to go for this soon. I Hope it turns out well.
