Description
This Cannabis Honey Recipe offers a simple yet effective way to elevate your culinary creations while enjoying the benefits of cannabis.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup raw honey
- 3.5 grams decarboxylated cannabis (about 1/8 ounce)
- cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). This temperature is crucial for decarboxylating your cannabis, a process that activates its compounds and enhances the infusion into the honey.
- Break up your cannabis into small pieces and spread it evenly over a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake it in the preheated oven for about 30 to 40 minutes. This step is essential to activate the cannabinoids in the cannabis, ensuring a potent infusion. Keep an eye on it, as the cannabis should be slightly toasted but not burnt.
- Once your cannabis has cooled slightly, combine it with the raw honey in the double boiler. Heat the mixture on low, allowing it to gently warm up. Stir occasionally, allowing the cannabis to infuse into the honey over a span of 30 to 60 minutes. The more time you allow for infusion, the more potent the honey will become. Regular stirring ensures even distribution of the cannabis properties throughout the honey.
- After the infusion process, it’s time to strain your honey. Using a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer, carefully pour the infused honey into a clean jar, separating the cannabis residue. This will give you a smooth and sweet cannabis honey ready to use. Store the finished product in an airtight container, keeping it away from direct sunlight to preserve its potency and flavor.
Notes
For a stronger infusion, increase the amount of decarboxylated cannabis used. Always label your infused honey clearly to avoid accidental consumption, especially when sharing with friends.
