*The strength, of course, depends on your hair dye*

Kitchen Utensils

• Plastic sauce bottle
• Candy Mold
• Saucepan
• Funnel
• Measuring cup
• Whisk
• Spatuel

Ingredients

• 25 cL of CBD tincture. Depending on your tincture and the desired dosage, divide the number of milligrams of CBD in your tincture by 50 to calculate the dosage per candy
• 2 green tea bags
• 3 tablespoons of creamy honey
• 25 cL of coconut water
• 75 cL of tart cherry juice
• 1.5 tablespoons of agar-agar powder or gelatin

Instructions

1. Pour the coconut water into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then let the green tea bags steep in the coconut water for 4 to 10 minutes.
2. Add the cherry juice, salt, and creamy honey to the saucepan. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth. Bring the mixture back to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer.
3. Add the agar-agar powder and whisk constantly for 3–4 minutes. (Note: The texture of agar-agar may not be to the liking of people accustomed to gelatin-based jellies. You can substitute gelatin if you prefer.)
4. Add the desired amount of CBD tincture (alcohol-based or vegetable oil-based) and whisk thoroughly until it is completely dissolved.
5. Turn off the heat and place the funnel on one of the sauce bottles.
6. Pour the liquid into the bottle. Be careful! The liquid is very hot, so you need to work quickly.
7. Using an oven mitt or a warm washcloth, hold the bottle and squeeze the liquid into one of your candy molds.
8. Place the pan in the refrigerator and let it rest for 15 minutes.
9. Remove the bears from the mold and store them in an airtight container.
