Tools:
- Baking sheet and parchment paper.

Instructions:
1. Decarb Your Cannabis: Break 15g of cannabis into coarse chunksa and decarboxylate. If you’re new to decarbing, don’t sweat it! I’ve a full step-by-step guide to make this part super easy!
2. Freeze Cannabis & Alcohol: Let the decarbed cannabis cool, then freeze it along with high-proof alcohol (like Everclear). For best results, freeze overnight or at least 2 hours.
3. Create the Cannabis Tincture: Mix the frozen cannabis and alcohol in a metal container, stirring gently until it turns a light golden color. Strain the mixture through cheesecloth, applying only light pressure to avoid green chlorophyll.
4. Infuse the Sugar: Add 2 cups of sugar for each cup of cannabis tincture to a metal bowl, ensuring the sugar is fully covered. Stir until the mixture is evenly combined.
5. Dry Your Canna Sugar: Spread the sugar mixture evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let it air-dry for 24–48 hours, stirring occasionally to break up clumps.
6. Break It Down & Store: Once dry, break up clumps with a spoon, your fingers, or a food processor. Store your canna sugar in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for maximum freshness.
Tips For Better CannaSugar
Here are some tips to help you make the best canna-sugar ever! Keep in mind that even small tweaks can make a huge difference.
- Choose Quality Cannabis: The quality of your cannabis determines the quality of your infusion. Go for strains with flavors that complement sweet dishes.
- Patience is Key: Letting the alcohol infuse properly (a full 24 hours) results in a stronger, more flavorful sugar.
- Even Coating is Crucial: Stir your sugar mixture thoroughly so that every granule absorbs the infused alcohol evenly.
- Break Up Clumps Frequently: As the sugar dries, stir it every few hours to avoid large, hard clumps.

Troubleshooting Common Issues
Everyone has those cooking oops moments. It’s all part of the learning process. Don’t stress if your first batch of canna sugar isn’t perfect. Here are some quick fixes for the most common mistakes:

Don’t worry! If it’s dry but stuck together, pulse it in a food processor or blender for a few seconds to return it to its granular form.

It still needs some time to dry out completely. Give it another day or two. Don’t put it in the oven to speed things up, that could mess it up!
