If you’re looking to add a little something extra to your baking, infused sugar is a perfect option. Not only does it add sweetness to your treats, but it also brings in the benefits of cannabis. Here’s a simple recipe for making your own infused sugar at home.
Ingredients:
– 1 cup of granulated sugar
– 1-2 grams of decarboxylated cannabis flower (depending on desired potency)
Instructions:
1. Grind the decarboxylated cannabis into a fine powder. You can use a herb grinder or a coffee grinder for this step.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and ground cannabis powder.
3. Heat the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning. Make sure the sugar and cannabis are well mixed.
4. Continue to heat and stir for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the cannabinoids in the cannabis to infuse into the sugar. This process is called infusion, and it helps activate the THC and CBD compounds in the cannabis.
5. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the infused sugar cool completely. This will give it time to set and solidify.
6. Once the infused sugar has cooled, you can use it in your baking recipes just as you would regular sugar. It can be added to cookies, cakes, brownies, or any other baked goods that call for sugar.
Tips:
– Adjust the potency of your infused sugar by varying the amount of cannabis used. If you prefer a milder effect, use a smaller amount of cannabis.
– Store your infused sugar in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to maintain its potency.
– Label your infused sugar clearly to prevent any accidental consumption.
Remember, when it comes to consuming cannabis-infused edibles, start with a small amount and wait at least an hour before deciding to consume more. The effects of edibles can take some time to kick in, so be patient and enjoy your sweet cannabis creations responsibly.
