Instructions
-
1Decarboxylate cannabis at 115°F (46°C) for 30-40 minutes — spread evenly on parchment paper, shake every 10 minutes.
-
2Mix honey and decarboxylized cannabis in a heat-safe bowl over a water bath.
-
3Keep heat low, never let it boil — max 70°F (21°C). Infuse for at least 40 minutes with occasional stirring.
-
4Strain through a cheesecloth-lined sieve into a clean jar. DO NOT press — this makes honey bitter.
-
5Store in a cool, dark place.
Pro Tips
- NEVER boil honey — THC breaks down above 160°F (71°C), and honey burns.
- Don't press cheesecloth: chlorophyll and bitterness stay in the cloth.
- Start with 1/4 tsp on toast, wait 60 minutes before more.
- Shelf life: 1-2 months in cool, dark storage.
