How to make gum at home

How can you make homemade gum

1 oz package gum base or gum pellets
1 to 1 1/2 tsp. flavoring
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1 1/2 tbsp. corn syrup

Steps

Unfold a piece of waxed paper.
Use it to cover a cutting board, dinner plate, or a part of the kitchen table.
Dump about half of the powdered sugar on to the waxed paper.
Create a well in the pile of sugar to relieve the melted gum and syrup.
Empty the gum pellets into a mixing container, then the corn syrup, and finally the bubble gum flavoring.
The pellets need to be melted in order to mix the sugar.

Place the gum pellets and corn syrup mixture into a microwave oven set on high for 10 seconds. If not melted try another 10 seconds.

Add a third 10 seconds interval (it should be melted). If not try a fourth 10 second interval.

Slowly add the hot mixture to the powdered sugar using the mixing tool. Work the gum into the sugar until it is all absorbed.
Add more sugar as needed.
When it is cool enough to handle you can knead it like dough.
Keep adding sugar until it doesn't absorb.
