# Instructions:

01 - Just let your shaped gum chill for half an hour on the counter. It'll get nice and firm.
02 - Break up the dough into balls or strips. If you want a kick of sour, toss in the citric acid now.
03 - Bit by bit, work the powdered sugar in until the dough feels flexible but not sticky.
04 - Add your food coloring and flavor oil, and give it a solid mix so the color and taste are all through.
05 - Once the gum base is melted, pour in your corn syrup. Stir it up until it looks all the same.
06 - Toss your gum base in a bowl that’s good for the microwave. Warm it up in bursts of 30 seconds, stirring every time, until it's all melted.

# Notes:

01 - Make sure your flavor oils are food-safe, just to stay healthy.
02 - Play around with flavors and colors to make it your own.
03 - You can snag gum base from specialty shops online.
