Recipe Essentials

• Prep Time: 5 minutes

• Cook Time: 8 minutes

• Yields: 20 lollipops

• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 2 cups Sugar

• 2/3 cup Corn syrup

• 4 tbsp Cannabis Tincture

• 2/3 cup Water

• 1/2 tsp Cherry extract (or your favorite flavor)

• Few drops Food coloring (optional)

Step-by-Step Directions

1. Dissolve: In a medium pot over medium heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir constantly until all the sugar is totally dissolved.

2. Boil: Bring the mixture to a boil. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature and bring the mixture to exactly 300°F (149°C).

3. Flavor: Once the temperature is reached, remove the pot from the heat and quickly stir in the food coloring and cherry extract.

4. Finalize: Carefully and quickly add the cannabis tincture, stirring just enough to combine. Because the candy hardens very rapidly, immediately pour the mixture into your prepared candy or lollipop molds.

5. Cool: Allow the lollipops to cool and harden completely before removing them from the molds. Store these cannabis edibles in an airtight container.

Pro-Tips for Success

• Temperature Accuracy: A candy thermometer is non-negotiable for this edibles recipe. If you do not reach 300°F (the "hard crack" stage), your lollipops will remain sticky instead of hardening properly.

• The Stoner Strategies Secret: Work quickly! Once the mixture drops below 250°F, it will begin to set. Prepare your molds and have all your ingredients measured and ready before you even turn on the stove to ensure your cannabis edibles turn out perfect.

• Potency Management: You can easily increase or decrease the strength of your lollipops by adjusting the amount of cannabis tincture added at the end of the cooking process.
