How to Make Cannabis-Infused Honey (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Decarboxylate the Cannabis
Before you can infuse cannabis into honey, you need to activate the THC through a process called decarboxylation.
1.Preheat oven to 225°F (105°C).
2.Break up cannabis into small pieces and spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3.Bake for 30–40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until light golden and aromatic.
Step 2: Infuse the Honey
1.Combine decarboxylated cannabis and honey in a small saucepan or double boiler over low heat.
2.Simmer gently for 40–60 minutes, stirring occasionally. Keep the heat low to preserve cannabinoids.
Step 3: Strain & Store
1.Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
2.Strain through cheesecloth into a clean mason jar.
3.Store at room temperature for up to 6 months or in the fridge for even longer freshness.
