Let’s dive into how you can make your own batch at home with just a few ingredients and some straightforward steps.
Ingredients
To make delicious and effective RSO gummies, we use just a handful of carefully selected ingredients. These components ensure the gummies have the right texture, flavor, and potency while keeping the process simple and accessible.
RSO (Rick Simpson Oil)
- Rick Simpson Oil (RSO): The star ingredient packed with cannabinoids delivering the targeted effects. Use approximately 1 gram of RSO for every 20-30 gummies depending on your desired potency.
- Ensure the RSO is well-mixed and soft enough to blend smoothly into the gummy mixture.
Gelatin or Vegan Gelatin Substitute
- Gelatin: Provides the chewy texture classic to gummies. Use 3 tablespoons of unflavored gelatin powder.
- For a vegan option, substitute with agar-agar powder at about 1.5 teaspoons, adjusting firmness as needed.
| Ingredient | Quantity | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Gelatin | 3 tablespoons | Texture and chewiness |
| Agar-agar (vegan) | 1.5 teaspoons | Vegan texture substitute |
Fruit Juice or Flavoring
- Choose a freshly squeezed or 100% fruit juice like orange, apple, or grape to mask the earthy flavor of RSO. Use 1 cup as the liquid base.
- Optionally, add natural flavor extracts (e.g., lemon, raspberry) for enhanced taste without added sugar. Use about 1 teaspoon.
Sweeteners
- To balance the herbal bitterness, add a sweetener such as:
- Honey (2 tablespoons)
- Maple syrup (2 tablespoons)
- Agave nectar (2 tablespoons)
- Adjust sweetness to taste based on the juice’s natural sugar content.
Optional Add-ins (Vitamins, CBD, etc.)
- For added benefits, consider mixing in:
- CBD isolate powder (10-20 mg per gummy) to amplify therapeutic effects.
- Vitamin C powder (1 teaspoon) for immunity support.
- Electrolyte powders for hydration.
- Add these during the blending stage for even distribution throughout the gummies.
With these ingredients, our RSO gummy recipe guarantees consistent dosing, great taste, and enjoyable texture. Adjust quantities as needed to fit your preferences and potency goals.
Equipment Needed
To craft perfect RSO Gummies, having the right equipment is essential. Here’s a detailed list of what we’ll need to ensure precision and ease throughout the process.
Saucepan
A small to medium-sized saucepan with a heavy bottom works best for gently heating our ingredients. The heavy bottom prevents hotspots which could burn or degrade the delicate components like Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) and gelatin. We recommend using one with a capacity of 1 to 2 quarts for optimal control.
Mixing Bowls
We will use two mixing bowls:
- One heatproof bowl to combine and melt ingredients if using a double boiler method.
- One room temperature bowl to whisk and combine liquids and powders before heating.
Choosing glass or stainless steel bowls helps maintain easy cleaning and avoids unwanted flavors.
Whisk or Spoon
A whisk is ideal to incorporate the gelatin smoothly and evenly into our juice or liquid base. If a whisk isn’t available, a heat-resistant spoon will also work to mix well, especially while melting the mixture over low heat.
Silicone Gummy Mold
For perfectly shaped and non-stick gummies, we prefer a silicone gummy mold. These molds come in various shapes and sizes and allow easy removal without damage to the gummy texture.
| Feature | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Material | Food-grade silicone |
| Mold Size | 1 to 2-inch cavities |
| Number of Cavities | 20 to 40 (depending on recipe) |
| Heat Resistance | Up to 450°F |
Measuring Cups and Spoons
Precise measurements guarantee consistent potency and texture. We use:
- A liquid measuring cup for juices and oils.
- A set of dry measuring spoons for gelatin, sweeteners, and optional additives.
Accurate measurement tools help us maintain the perfect balance between flavor, texture, and dosage in every gummy.
Pro Tip: Label your measuring spoons and cups for RSO and sweeteners to streamline your gummy-making process and avoid cross-contamination.
Prep Work
Before diving into the cooking process, thorough Prep Work is essential to ensure our RSO gummies turn out perfectly consistent with the right potency and texture every time. Let’s get everything measured and molds ready to set.
Measuring Ingredients
Precision is key when measuring ingredients for RSO gummy recipes. Accurate measurements help maintain consistent dosing and achieve the perfect chewiness.
| Ingredient | Measurement Tool | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rick Simpson Oil (RSO) | Digital scale or syringe | Measure in grams or milliliters for accuracy |
| Gelatin or vegan substitute | Measuring spoons | Level off for exact amount |
| Fruit juice | Liquid measuring cup | Use freshly squeezed if possible |
| Sweetener (honey, sugar, agave) | Measuring spoons | Adjust sweetness to taste |
| Optional add-ins (CBD, vitamins) | Small measuring spoons | Ensure proper dosage |
We recommend using a digital scale for the RSO to guarantee each gummy delivers the intended effects. For dry and liquid ingredients, use separate measuring tools to avoid cross-contamination.
Preparing Molds
Preparing silicone molds properly ensures easy gummy removal without tearing or sticking.
- Clean the molds with warm water and mild soap. Dry thoroughly.
- Optionally, lightly spray molds with a non-stick cooking spray to further ease gummy release.
- Set molds on a flat, stable surface like a baking tray for easy transport to the fridge.
- Keep molds nearby so you can pour the mixture immediately after preparation.
Having molds ready before mixing guarantees the gelatin or vegan base doesn’t begin to set prematurely. This step helps us maintain a smooth, even texture across our RSO gummies.
Instructions
Follow these clear steps to craft delicious and potent RSO Gummies with consistent texture and effects. Precision at each stage guarantees the best results.
Step 1: Bloom the Gelatin
- Measure 1 tablespoon of gelatin (or your chosen vegan substitute).
- Pour gelatin into 1/4 cup of cold fruit juice in a heatproof mixing bowl.
- Stir gently to combine without lumps.
- Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes until the gelatin fully absorbs the liquid and blooms to a jelly-like texture.
Step 2: Heat the Fruit Juice and Sweeteners
- In a saucepan, heat 3/4 cup of fruit juice over medium-low heat.
- Add sweeteners precisely as measured:
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Honey or agave | 1 tablespoon |
| Sugar or erythritol | 1 tablespoon |
- Stir continuously with a heat-resistant spoon until the sweeteners dissolve and the mixture is hot but not boiling (around 160°F / 71°C).
- Remove from heat.
Step 3: Combine RSO with Mixture
- Carefully whisk the bloomed gelatin mixture into the warm fruit juice and sweetener blend.
- Add RSO, measured precisely on a digital scale, to match your desired potency. For example:
| RSO Quantity | Approximate Gummies Potency per Piece (mg) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 gram | 10 mg |
| 1 gram | 20 mg |
- Whisk vigorously to create a smooth uniform mixture without lumps.
- Taste test a tiny amount and adjust sweetness or flavors as needed while warm.
Step 4: Pour Mixture into Molds
- Prepare your clean silicone molds by lightly spraying with non-stick cooking spray if desired.
- Use a small ladle or dropper to pour the gummy mixture evenly into each cavity.
- Tap the mold gently on the counter to release any air bubbles for a smooth, even texture.
Step 5: Refrigerate to Set
- Place the filled molds in the refrigerator.
- Let gummies firm up for at least 2 hours or until fully set and chewy.
- Once set, carefully pop the gummies out of the molds and store them in an airtight container in the fridge.
Storage and Serving Suggestions
Proper storage and mindful serving ensure our RSO gummies maintain potency, texture, and flavor. Let’s explore the best practices for storing these treats and how to dose them correctly for consistent effects.
Storing Gummies
To keep our RSO gummies fresh and effective:
- Store gummies in an airtight container to prevent moisture loss and contamination.
- Place the container in the refrigerator. The cool temperature preserves texture and potency without making gummies too firm.
- Keep gummies away from direct sunlight or heat sources to avoid degradation of Rick Simpson Oil.
- For longer storage up to 2 weeks, refrigeration is ideal. For storage beyond that, consider freezing gummies in a sealed bag, thawing only what we need to maintain quality.
Tip: Label the container with the date made and potency for easy tracking.
| Storage Method | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Airtight container + fridge | Up to 2 weeks | Keeps texture soft, potency stable |

| Room temperature | 2-3 days | Not recommended; gummies may harden |
Dosage and Serving Size
Getting the right dosage is crucial for a safe and effective experience with our RSO gummies. Here are key points to guide us:
- Start low and go slow: For beginners, start with a gummy containing approximately 2.5 mg to 5 mg of RSO and wait 1–2 hours before increasing the dose.
- Consistent dosing is ensured by measuring RSO precisely during the recipe stage. Each gummy should have uniform potency.
- Typical serving sizes vary from 1 to 3 gummies depending on tolerance, desired effects, and individual metabolism.
- Store dosage information near the gummies or in a dedicated journal to track effects and adjust accordingly.
| Dosage Level | RSO per Gummy | Typical Serving Size | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
