Cannabis-Infused Sugar

Cannabis-Infused Sugar

Cannabis-infused sugar is a versatile ingredient that adds a subtle touch of cannabis to your favorite sweet treats and beverages. This recipe provides a simple and effective way to create your own infused sugar, which can then be used in baking, stirred into coffee or tea, or sprinkled on top of desserts. The key to a good infusion is even distribution and proper decarboxylation of the cannabis to activate its compounds. This easy-to-make sugar is perfect for adding a unique twist to your culinary creations, ensuring a delightful and uplifting experience with every bite!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3-5 grams of decarboxylated cannabis (finely ground)

Equipment:

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Airtight container for storage
  • Grinder (for cannabis)

Instructions:

  1. Decarboxylate the Cannabis: Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Spread the finely ground cannabis evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring halfway through. This process activates the THC and CBD in the cannabis. Let cool completely.
  2. Combine Sugar and Cannabis: In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and decarboxylated cannabis.
  3. Mix Thoroughly: Use a whisk or your hands to mix the sugar and cannabis thoroughly. Ensure that the cannabis is evenly distributed throughout the sugar to ensure consistent dosing.
  4. Grind Again (Optional): For a finer consistency, you can use a food processor to pulse the sugar and cannabis mixture a few times until evenly ground. Be careful not to over-process, as this could cause the sugar to become clumpy.
  5. Store: Transfer the cannabis-infused sugar to an airtight container and store it in a cool, dark place. It is best to label the container clearly to avoid accidental consumption by those unaware of the infusion.

Enjoy your cannabis-infused sugar responsibly! Use it in your favorite recipes, bearing in mind that the potency can vary depending on the strength of the cannabis used. Start with small doses to gauge its effects. This sugar adds a unique twist to your culinary creations, making every dish a delightful experience!
