CBD Turmeric Ginger Sweets

• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon agar-agar powder

• 12 doses of CBD oil

Directions

1. Chop up the ginger into thin slices
2. Put everything besides the CBD oil in a pan and sprinkle some agar-agar powder
3. Simmer for 5 minutes constantly stirring to ensure that the agar-agar does not stick to the bottom thus preventing it from setting

5. Allow to cool for 5 minutes then pour into your dish/mold and chill for 30 minutes to set

Agar-agar powder is responsible for the gelatin-like texture of the gummies. Instead of using artificial sweeteners, the orange or carrot juice provides natural sweetness and gives the gummies their color.
