Boil 1 cup of water and place the hibiscus tea bags in it. Let the tea steep for five minutes, then remove ¾ cup of tea and discard the rest.
Place the tea in a saucepan and combine with dried fruit powder, sugar, and lemon juice. Whisk the mixture until it is thoroughly combined, then simmer over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling This is a good time to give it a test to be sure it is sweet and tasty enough. Add the gelatin powder to the mix and whisk until all the ingredients are combined. Continue to cook over medium heat until the gelatin is completely melted, and the mixture is glassy and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the CBD tincture to the mixture. Remember, we are making 24 large gummies, and one milliliter of CBD is a standard dose for many people. So, measure 24 eyedroppers of tincture into the mix and stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Sometimes the mixture will get foamy from all the whisking and stirring. That doesn’t affect the gummies, but some people do not like the texture. Cool the mixture and put it back on the stove, slowly reheating without stirring if you want to get rid of any foaminess. The foam layer can be removed with a spoon.
Now it’s time to pour the CBD mixture into the gummy molds. Carefully use your eyedropper to fill the mold. The gummies will start to solidify very quickly, so work as fast and diligently as you can. Carefully place the mold in the fridge and cool for two hours.
Remove the gummies by popping them out of the mold. Storing them in an airtight container is preferred because they can get dry and chewy if left out in the air. This recipe does not use preservatives, so eat your gummies in two weeks or so.
