Method
Decarboxylate your cannabis to activate the THC. There are many ways to decarb at home, ranging from easy enough to unbelievably easy—it’s all a matter of how much THC loss matters to you and how much time you want to devote to the process. We’ll use the baking sheet method for this recipe. Preheat your oven to 220 -240ºF/ 105-115ºC. Line a baking tray with parchment paper then evenly spread your roughly ground cannabis on top. Cover the tray with foil and tightly seal it. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-45 minutes. Give the tray a light shake halfway through to help the cannabis decarb evenly.
Bring the water to a boil on low heat and add the sugar. Stir frequently until the sugar is fully dissolved in the water.
Once the sugar has dissolved, add your decarboxylated cannabis and let it gently boil for 10 minutes. Stir frequently and do not allow it to get too hot and over boil. Too high of a temperature can damage the THC and other cannabinoids.
After letting the mixture low boil for 10 minutes, lower the heat and add glucose syrup if desired. Let the mixture simmer for 6 to 7 minutes while regularly stirring. The mixture will now have started to thicken up into a syrup.
Take the hot syrup off the heat and allow to cool down. While it's cooling down, prepare a small strainer or cheese cloth which we will use to strain out the cannabis bits from the syrup.
Pour the warm syrup through your strainer or cheese cloth to remove the weed bits. When the cannabis infused simple syrup has cooled down, it is now ready to use. Try it out in your favorite canna-cocktail recipe or add it to any drink. Enjoy!
Store syrup in the fridge for best results.
And there you have it, your very own cannabis-infused simple syrup, ready to add a twist to your beverages. Simple to make and adaptable for a variety of drinks, this syrup is sure to become a staple in your cannabis culinary creations. Enjoy experimenting with it in your favorite recipes and enjoy the unique flavors it brings to each sip. Enhance your drinks with just the right touch of cannabis magic!
