Nicotine replacement gum Recipe

American · Confectionery · 25 min total

A homemade alternative to commercial nicotine gum, designed to help manage cravings by delivering a controlled dose of nicotine through chewing.

Ingredients

• 1 cup gum base (pellet or block form)
• 1/4 cup liquid nicotine (pharmaceutical grade, 100 mg/mL)
• 1/4 cup corn syrup
• 1/2 teaspoon citric acid
• 1/2 teaspoon peppermint oil
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

1. Melt the gum base in a double boiler over low heat, stirring occasionally until fully melted and smooth.
2. Remove from heat and stir in corn syrup, citric acid, and peppermint oil until well combined.
3. Slowly add the liquid nicotine while stirring continuously to ensure even distribution. Be careful not to inhale fumes.
4. Pour the mixture onto a silicone mat or a surface dusted with powdered sugar. Let it cool slightly until pliable.
5. Knead the gum mixture with powdered sugar-dusted hands until it becomes smooth and no longer sticky.
6. Roll the gum into a long rope about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 30 equal pieces.
7. Dust each piece lightly with powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Allow to cool completely at room temperature.
8. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks.

Tips

• Consult a healthcare professional before using homemade nicotine gum to ensure proper dosage and safety.
• Each piece contains approximately 2 mg of nicotine; adjust liquid nicotine amount for desired strength.
• Chew each piece for about 30 minutes to release nicotine effectively.
