Ingredients
  

  • 250ml gin
  • 1 - 3.5g cannabis (both fresh & dried cannabis works great)

Instructions
 

  • Decarboxylate your cannabis to activate the THC & CBD. If you do not decarboxylate before infusing, you will only infuse the taste and flavour profile of your cannabis into the gin, and not the psychoactive effects of the THC.
    To decarboxylate your weed, place it in a covered tray or oven dish then put into a preheated oven at 240F/115C for 40 minutes. If your tray or dish has no cover, cover with foil instead. Once removed from oven, allow it to cool down.
  • Roughly chop up all the decarboxylated weed and add it to the bottle of Gin. If you are infusing a smaller amount, a glass mason jar works great instead of a bottle. Ensure the bottle or glass jar is tightly sealed then shake it vigorously for 2 minutes.
  • Store the bottle or jar in a cool, dark place for up to 7-14 days. Shake it vigorously for a few minutes each day to help extract the terpenes and cannabinoids from the cannabis. The longer you allow it to infuse, the stronger flavour profile and effects.
    If you do not want to wait a few days for it to infuse, you can do a fast infusion using heat. Heat up the mixture in a pot on low heat for 2-3 hours, ensuring the temperature does not exceed 60C. High heat may evaporate the alcohol content. Stir occasionally, and once done - allow to cool down before putting into a jar or bottle.
  • Once infused, strain out the cannabis plant matter from the gin using a coffee filter or strainer. Your weed infused gin is now ready!
