How to make cannabis infused simple syrup at home, quick and easy. A key ingredient for making THC infused beverages and canna-cocktails. Perfect for adding a dose of cannabinoids to any drink.
3.5 - 7gdried cannabis(add more or less if you prefer)
2cupsgranulated sugar
2cupswater
2tbspvegetable glycerin(you can get this at your local health food shop)
Instructions
To start, decarboxylate your cannabis to activate the THC. Preheat your oven to 240F/115C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper then evenly spread your roughly ground cannabis on top. Cover the tray with foil and crumple the edges to tightly seal it. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Give the tray a light shake half way through to help the cannabis decarb evenly.
Bring the water to a boil on low heat and add the sugar. Stir frequently until the sugar is fully dissolved in the water.
Once the sugar has dissolved, add your decarboxylated cannabis and let it gently boil for 15 minutes. Stir frequently and do not allow it to get too hot and over boil. Too high of a temperature can damage the THC and other cannabinoids.
After letting the mixture low boil for 15 minutes, lower the heat and add the vegetable glycerin. Let the mixture simmer for 6 to 7 minutes while regularly stirring. The mixture will now have started to thicken up into a syrup. If the syrup is too thin for your liking, allow to simmer for a few more minutes to thicken it up.
Take the hot syrup off the heat and allow to cool down. While it's cooling down, prepare a small strainer or cheese cloth which we will use to strain out the cannabis bits from the syrup.
Pour the warm syrup through your strainer or cheese cloth to remove the weed bits. When the cannabis infused simple syrup has cooled down, it is now ready to use. Try it out in your favourite canna-cocktail recipe or add it to any drink. Enjoy!Store syrup in the fridge for best results.
