lollipops

It's how we make ours


Alcohol and glycerin based tinctures should not be used for hard canna candies; in the case of alcohol you're evaporating
and losing your 'edible solvent', and the oil, alcohol and glycerin are responsible for facilitating absorption; meaning
you're diminishing the amount of active material your body can absorb in any given period of time (that's tons of wasted potency)!
Glycerin attracts and absorbs 20% its weight in atmospheric moisture, leaving you with sticky, dissolving candies in a matter
of days, or even hours depending on the humidity.. in some cases, the candies never even have the opportunity to set up.


These tinctures can be used for gummy candies, as the gelatin/agar holds moisture, but even with gummies
you will still have the most success with oil.




You can get away with 2 Tbsp of oil (usually more, but that's a decent/safe cut-off ) per each cup of sugar, without effecting
the taste or the consistency !

Here you go, a simple hard candy tutorial (also lets you know when it's safe to add your oil!)....


UV GLOWING Hash or Canna Candies






And the oil recipes;


BadKat's Highly Activated & Bioavailable, Med-Grade Cannabis Concentrate (Edible & Smokable recipes included...
similar to Phoenix Tears/RSO & BHO, but bioavailable and made with food grade/drinking alcohol)

-Medical Grade Cannabis Concentrate-






BadKat's Highly Activated & Bioavailable, Med-Grade Hash Oil (starting with dry-sift hash, same as capsule recipe,
oil can also be used for cooking)


Med-Grade Hash Oil






And, in case you need it...

BadKat's Highly Activated & Bioavailable, Med-Grade Canna Oil (starting with flowers/bud/trim etc)

Med-Grade Canna Oil





-"Meddy" Moose Pops-












-Philosopher's STONES-










When you add your oil at the correct time, you're able to both heat your sugar high enough, that it becomes hard enough to shatter
once cooled, and you can avoid degrading and separating your canna oil!






Here's the sugar heating up, all on its own;




And after adding the canna oil, just before the final 'swirl' and pour...











They taste just like regular fruity lollipops that you may buy at the fair or a country store (many of which do have an oil
content!).... they will never taste like caramels, unless you intentionally caramelize your sugar beforehand and add milk, or butter
with milk solids! The color comes from your canna/hash oil




Just be sure you make a few practice batches first, using the same oil source you used with your canna, before experimenting with
your precious canna oil! Get used to the motions you need when stirring, and when you need to make them, first.


Once you have a successful batch of canna-free candy, and you're confidant with your process, then move on to using your canna oil!


A cup or two of sugar, and a few spoons of oil and water are cheap, but your canna oil may not be so affordable!




Anyhow, good luck, and have fun!

 

Would high end dank work, as well as be cost effective?

 

These knocked me into next week, can't believe this thread isn't stickied
