Equipment
- Small saucepan
- Stirring spoon
- Fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth
- Heatproof jar or container with lid
Ingredients
- 1 cup honey (use a high-quality honey for best results)
- 1 gram of decarboxylated cannabis flower or trim
Instructions
- Decarboxylation: Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Grind the cannabis flower or trim into small pieces and spread it evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cannabis becomes golden brown and aromatic. Remove from the oven and let it cool
- Infusion: In a small saucepan, combine the honey and decarboxylated cannabis. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour. Be careful not to let the honey boil
- Strain: After 1 hour, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Strain the infused honey through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a heatproof jar or container. Press down on the cannabis material with the back of a spoon to extract as much infused honey as possible
- Storage: Once strained, discard the leftover cannabis material. Seal the jar or container with a lid and store the infused honey in a cool, dark place. It can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 month or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life
Notes
- Adjust the potency of your infused honey by varying the amount of cannabis used. Start with a small amount and increase as desired, keeping in mind your tolerance levels.
- Label your infused honey clearly and store it out of reach of children and pets.
- Enjoy your cannabis-infused honey stirred into your favorite teas, drizzled over desserts, or used as a sweetener in various recipes.
