Floral, tropical, and vibrant with citrusy brightness. Like if vacation vibes became candy.

These are not your average edibles, babe. These are handcrafted, soul-soothing, sun-drenched candy gems infused with a gentle wave of THC or CBD—perfect for intentional pleasure, solo rituals, or shared sensuality. Inspired by the lush tang of passion fruit and the slow, sacred art of waiting for sugar to crystallize. This is edible alchemy, honey.

Details:

Flavor Profile: Tangy passion fruit, sweet citrus, hint of herbal cannabis

Texture: Crunchy outer crystal, jelly-soft inside

Prep Time: 25–30 minutes

Drying Time: 4–7 days for that signature crunch

What You’ll Need:

For the base:

¾ cup pure passion fruit juice (fresh or bottled, unsweetened)

¼ cup filtered water

Zest of 1 lemon or lime

2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

4g agar-agar powder (not flakes—precision matters)

1¾ cups organic cane sugar

Pinch of sea salt

A drop or two of natural orange or golden food coloring (optional, but it glows)

Note: If you don't have passion fruit juice, a few drops of artificial flavoring will do

For the infusion:

1 tsp THC or CBD tincture (200mg total dose)

Or

1 tsp infused coconut oil, activated and strain-infused

¼ tsp sunflower or soy lecithin (only if using oil, to bind water + oil)

Step-by-Step:

Instructions:

1. Make the Juice Base

Combine passion fruit juice and water in a small saucepan.

Add lemon zest and bring to a gentle simmer.

Remove from heat and let steep for 5 minutes to infuse that citrusy brightness.

Strain to remove zest. Return the liquid to the pot

2. Prepare the Agar

Sprinkle in agar-agar powder and let bloom for 5 minutes.

Turn heat to medium and whisk constantly.

Once dissolved (2–3 minutes), stir in sugar, salt, and lemon juice.

Simmer until thickened slightly—about 2 more minutes.

3. Cool Slightly & Infuse

Remove from heat and let cool down slightly—below 160°F to protect the cannabinoids.

If using tincture:

Stir in the cannabis tincture and mix thoroughly to distribute evenly.

If using infused coconut oil:

Add lecithin to the warm mixture.

Whisk in cannabis oil vigorously to emulsify. The mixture may cloud slightly—no worries!

4. Pour & Set

Pour into molds or a parchment-lined tray (½-inch thick layer works best).

Let it set at room temp for 2 hours or until firm.

Remove from molds or cut into small, gem-like shapes.

5. Dry & Crystallize

Arrange on a drying rack or parchment-lined tray, spaced apart.

Let dry at room temperature for 4–7 days, flipping once daily.

By day 4, you’ll notice a glossy, sugar-crystal crust forming.

> Humidity Tip: If you're in the South or anywhere humid, pop them in a food dehydrator on the lowest setting for 4–6 hours a day or set them near a fan.

Storage:

Once fully dry, store in an airtight container.

Add a food-safe silica pack or a bit of uncooked rice in cheesecloth to keep them crisp.

Lasts 2–3 weeks at room temp if dried properly

Flavor Pairings & Tips:

Add a pinch of vanilla bean paste for creamy depth.

For more floral depth, try a few drops of orange blossom water or hibiscus syrup.

Craving sour? Dust the finished candies in a citric acid + sugar mix for a punchy edge

Dosage Math (Quick + Safe):

1 tsp tincture or infused oil = approx. 200mg THC or CBD

200mg ÷ 40 pieces = 5mg per piece

Want to go lower-dose? Halve the infusion and make it 2.5mg per piece—perfect for microdosing.
