How to Make Magic Mushroom Gummies: An Easy Vegan Recipe
Think gummies are just for cannabis? Think again — magic mushroom gummies are in, and they’re easy to make with this simple recipe...
Introduction
Shrooms are great and all, but they taste pretty grim. Measuring out a dose and chewing up a bunch of dried mushrooms isn’t exactly subtle, either. Shroom gummies eliminate the foul taste while providing an accurate and inconspicuous way to dose. Making magic mushroom gummies at home is easy if you know how — and it allows you to tailor the candies to your needs.
Step-by-Step Guide to Making Magic Mushroom Gummies
Step 1: Grind Your Mushrooms
First, pulverize your desired amount of dried magic mushrooms to a powder using a coffee grinder or food blender. The quantities above make 24 medium-sized gummies — this can be divided or multiplied depending on how many shrooms you use.
Step 2: Heat Up the Liquids
In a saucepan, combine one cup of fresh lemon juice with half a cup of water and gently heat. The aim here is not to boil the liquid but to bring it to a temperature just before it becomes a simmer. Use a thermometer to check the temperature. It’s okay if this mixture gets too hot briefly, but as soon as you add the mushrooms, make sure the temperature never exceeds 70ºC (160ºF). Wait for the liquid to cool below this temperature before moving to the next step.
Step 3: Turn Off the Heat & Add the Shrooms
Next, turn off the heat and combine the powdered mushrooms with the liquid in the saucepan. Cover with a lid, and leave to soak for 30 to 60 minutes.
Step 4: Strain the Liquid
After soaking, pour the liquid through a coffee filter to separate the mushroom extract from the liquid. Discard the used mushrooms.
Step 5: Combine the Agar With the Extraction
In a small saucepan, gently heat the extracted liquid and add agar powder. Stir to dissolve completely.
Step 6: Add the Sugar
Once the agar is fully dissolved, add the sugar and stir until completely dissolved.
Step 7: Mix in Flavorings and Colorings (Optional)
Feel free to experiment with different flavors and colors to customize your gummies.
Step 8: Fill the Gummy Mold
Pour the mixture into a gummy mold using a spouted measuring jug or funnel for precision.
Step 9: Set the Gummies
Allow the gummies to set in the refrigerator for at least two hours.
Step 10: Air-Dry the Gummies
Once set, you can air-dry the gummies for a chewier texture if desired.
How to Accurately Measure Doses for Magic Mushroom Gummies
1. Find Out the Psilocybin Percentage
Knowing the potency of your mushrooms will help you determine the appropriate dosage for your gummies.
2. Work Out How Many Shrooms You’ll Need (In Grams)
Calculating the number of mushrooms needed based on their potency and desired dosage is crucial for accurate dosing.
Tips on Storing Magic Mushroom Gummies Properly
Make sure to keep your gummies in an airtight container and store them in a cool, dark place to maintain their potency.
Conclusion
By following this easy vegan recipe, you can enjoy delicious magic mushroom gummies that not only taste great but also provide a discreet and accurate way to dose. Experiment with flavors and dosages to create the perfect gummies for your needs.
