Step-by-Step Guide to Making Weed Lollipops

Ingredients:

• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup light corn syrup
• ¼ cup water
• 1-2 teaspoons cannabis tincture (depending on desired potency)
• ½ teaspoon flavor extract (like cherry, watermelon, or lemon)
• Lollipop sticks
• Candy thermometer
• Silicone lollipop molds or parchment paper
• Food coloring (optional)

Step 1: Prepare Your Equipment

Before you begin cooking, ensure all your tools and ingredients are ready to go. Lay out your silicone molds or line a flat baking sheet with parchment paper. If you're using parchment paper, grease it lightly so the lollipops don’t stick. Have your candy thermometer ready, as precision is key when working with sugar.

Step 2: Measure and Mix the Ingredients

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar is completely dissolved, and the liquid looks clear. Avoid stirring too much after the sugar dissolves, as this can cause crystallization.

Step 3: Heat the Mixture

Once the sugar is dissolved, clip the candy thermometer to the side of the pot, making sure it doesn’t touch the bottom. Allow the mixture to cook without stirring until it reaches 300°F (149°C), also known as the "hard-crack stage." This is the temperature at which the sugar mixture will form hard candy when cooled.

Tip: Be patient—this step can take a few minutes. Stirring or altering the heat too much could ruin the texture.

Step 4: Add Flavor and Color

Once your mixture reaches 300°F, remove the saucepan from heat. Quickly but carefully, stir in the flavor extract and food coloring (if desired). The mixture will bubble a little, so proceed with caution. This is also the moment to add your cannabis tincture. Stir gently but thoroughly to ensure the tincture and flavor are evenly distributed.

Step 5: Pour the Mixture Into Molds

Immediately pour the hot candy mixture into your prepared silicone lollipop molds or onto the greased parchment paper in circular shapes. If using molds, insert the lollipop sticks while the mixture is still hot. If you're free-handing the lollipops, place the sticks in the center of each candy circle before it hardens.

Step 6: Cool and Set

Allow the lollipops to cool and harden completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Once they’ve set, carefully remove them from the molds or peel them off the parchment paper.

Tip: If you want to wrap them individually, use small cellophane wrappers or store them in an airtight container to preserve their freshness.

Making your own weed lollipops at home is a fun and creative way to enjoy cannabis edibles. With just a few simple ingredients and a bit of patience, you’ll have a sweet and potent treat that you can customize to your preferred flavors and dosage. Enjoy your lollipops responsibly, as the effects from edibles tend to last longer than smoking or vaping.

Now that you know how to make them, why not experiment with different flavors and strains to create the ultimate weed lollipop experience?
