Ingredients
  

  • 250ml whiskey
  • 1 - 3.5g cannabis buds

Instructions
 

  • Decarboxylate the cannabis before infusing if you want to infuse the psychoactive effects of THC into the whiskey. If you just want to infuse the flavour profile of your cannabis into the whiskey, without any of the psychoactive effects of THC, then you can skip this step.
    To decarboxylate - place the cannabis onto a tray or oven dish and spread into an even layer. Cover tightly with foil. Place it into a preheated oven at 240F/115C for 40 minutes. Remove from oven then allow it to cool down.
  • Roughly grind or crumble the decarboxylated weed directly into the bottle of whiskey. You can use a glass mason jar instead of a bottle if infusing small amounts. Make sure the bottle or jar has an air-tight seal then give it a good shake for a couple minutes until the ground cannabis is fully submerged and mixed in.
  • Place the bottle or jar in a dark place away from direct sunlight for up to 1-2 weeks. Shake it daily to help draw out the terpenes and cannabinoids from the cannabis into the whiskey.
    For those in a rush, you can do a faster infusion by using heat. Put the mixture into a pot and heat on a low setting, stirring occasionally. Do not allow the temperature to go above 60C to avoid evaporating and cooking the alcohol. Use a thermometer if needed. Let the mixture infuse for 2-3 hours, or longer for a more concentrated flavour profile and stronger effects.
  • Pour the infused cannabis whiskey mixture through a cheesecloth, coffee filter, or strainer to remove the plant matter from the liquid. It is now ready to be drank, used in a cocktail, or stored. If you used the fast infusion method, allow the whiskey to cool down first. Enjoy!
