How to Make THC Infused Honey
Ingredients:
- 1 cup raw honey.
- 3.5 grams decarboxylated cannabis.
- Optional: 1 tsp coconut oil.
Tools:
- A double boiler.
- Cheesecloth or fine strainer.
- Mason jar or any airtight glass container.
- A kitchen thermometer.
Instructions:
1. Decarb Your Cannabis: Before anything else, we need to activate the THC in the cannabis. This step is essentia! If you dont know how to do it, i have a nice guide about it, give it a look an come back.
💡 Pro Tip: Cover the baking sheet with foil or use an oven bag to reduce the smell.
2. Set Up Your Double Boiler: fill a pot with a few inches of water and place a heat-safe bowl or smaller pot on top. (Bring the water to a simmer, not a boil).
3. Infuse the Honey: Pour the honey into the top pot of your double boiler and keep the temperature between 160–200°F. Add the decarbed cannabis and optional coconut oil. Let it simmer for 1–2 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure even infusion.
4. Strain the Mixture: Once infused, remove the pot from heat and let the honey cool slightly. Strain it through a cheesecloth or fine strainer into a clean mason jar, squeezing the plant material to get every last drop of liquid gold.
5. Store Your THC Honey: Transfer your infused honey into an airtight glass jar. Store it in a cool, dark place like a pantry or cupboard.
Tips For Better THC Infused Honey
Here are some pro tips to help you make sure you make the most delicious and effective cannabis infused honey:
- Use High-Quality Honey: The better the honey, the better the infusion. Raw, organic honey will give you a richer, more flavorful result.
- Don’t Rush the Infusion: Give the mixture at least 1–2 hours to properly infuse. Patience pays off when it comes to infusing cannabis.
- Filter Twice: For a smoother, cleaner honey, strain it twice. This will help remove any lingering plant material that could affect the flavor or texture.
- Stir Regularly: Stirring occasionally during the infusion process ensures an even distribution of THC throughout the honey.
