Nurodymai

Put gum base, citric acid, corn syrup and glycerin a bowl and microwave for 45 seconds.

Stir mixture and put back in for 5-10 seconds intervals until completely melted.

Add strawberry flavor and red food coloring and stir.

Set aside two tablespoons of powered sugar to sprinkle over finished gum.

Sprinkle 1/4 cup powdered sugar on parchment paper.

Drop gum mixture on top of sugar and knead together. Continue kneading gum, mixing in remaining powdered sugar until gum is smooth and rollable; approximately 10 – 15 minutes.

Roll gum into a snake snape and cut into bite size pieces (about 1/2 inch). Kitchen scissors work best.

Sprinkle each piece with powdered sugar and place in the middle of a parchment paper square; twisting each side to hold gum in place.
