How to Make Cannabis Syrup

Ingredients:

• 2 cups water.
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract (optional).
• 1 gram decarboxylated cannabis.
• 2 cups granulated sugar (or a sweetener of your choice).

💡 Pro Tip: Check out my Decarb Guide if you need a refresher!

Tools:

• Spoons.
• Saucepan.
• Stirring utensil.
• Measuring cups.
• Fine mesh strainer.
• Airtight jar for storage.

Instructions:

1. Mix sugar and water: Pour water and sugar in a saucepan. Stir ’em together good before turning on the heat. This helps keep things even.

2. Melt the sugar: Stir steady till the sugar’s all gone. When it’s clear, you’re good to go. Should take about 5 mins.

3. Add the weed: Turn down the heat to low, just a gentle bubble. Slowly add your weed, a little at a time, stirring well after each bit.

4. Simmer it up: Let it simmer for half an hour, stirring now and then. Keep the heat low so the good stuff doesn’t go away.

5. Cool it down: Take it off the heat and let it sit for a bit. Makes it easier to handle. It’ll thicken up a bit too.

6. Strain it out: Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a bowl. Pour the syrup through and squeeze the weed to get all the good stuff out.

7. Store it: Pour the strained syrup into a clean jar with a tight lid. Use a funnel if you need to. Make sure the jar’s dry before you put the syrup in.

8. Chill it: Label the jar with the date and how much is in each dose. Put it in the fridge. It’ll stay good for a couple of weeks.

Tips For Better Cannabis Infused Syrup

Making canna syrup can be tricky, but don’t worry, I got you covered! You want it strong, tasty, and the right thickness, right?

• Monitor Temperature Closely: Keep the temp at the sweet spot during the infusion. Too hot, and you’ll mess it all.
  
  
• Strain Thoroughly: Use a fine-mesh strainer to get rid of all that plant stuff after the infusion. Leftover bits can make your canna syrup taste pretty bad.
  
  
• Add Natural Flavors: Infuse additional flavors like vanilla, citrus zest, or spices for a more dynamic taste. Adding them during the infusion process ensures they meld with the cannabis and sweetener perfectly.
  
  
• Test Potency First: Start with a small dose when consuming your syrup. Even if you’re confident in its potency, testing ensures a comfortable experience. Adjust serving sizes as needed.
  
  
• Decarboxylate Correctly: Don’t skip decarboxylation! This process activates THC or CBD, ensuring your syrup delivers the desired potency. Bake your cannabis at 230°F (110°C) for about 30-45 minutes for optimal activation.

Making cannabis syrup at home is a fun, creative way to incorporate cannabis into your lifestyle, you have endless possibilities for customization! Try it and let me know how it went, I’d love to hear how you’re using your cannabis syrup!

Happy infusing!
