Looking for a fun and discreet way to enjoy cannabis in your everyday treats? Cannabis sugar, also known as THC sugar, cannasugar, or THC-infused sugar, is your ticket!


It’s a sweet, versatile infusion that can jazz up your coffee, tea, cocktails, cereal, or baked goodies. Best of all, it’s simple enough for beginners, yet satisfying for edible-crafting veterans seeking an easy option. Here’s a practical guide on how to make THC sugar at home.

Step-by-step cannabis sugar recipe

Now that you have everything you need to make a sweet and potent batch of cannabis sugar, follow the steps below to get the job done!

Step 1: Mix sugar and tincture

Step 1: Mix sugar and tincture

Pour your sugar into a baking dish. Gradually drizzle in the cannabis tincture, stirring constantly to coat the granules evenly. This ensures every grain carries that sweet cannabinoid kick.

Step 2: Drying process

Step 2: Drying process

Spread the mixture into a thin layer. You can air-dry it for 48–72 hours or speed things up using a low heat oven running at 95°C, or use a dehydrator. Stir the sugar occasionally to prevent clumping and preserve potency.

Step 3: Breakup & store

Once dry, break up any clumps with a spoon or your fingers. Transfer your THC-infused sugar to an airtight jar and store in a cool, dark place.

Cannabis sugar tips

To achieve the best results possible when making cannabis sugar, follow these handy tips to unleash your inner cannabis chef:

  • Stir frequently: This helps to prevent clumping and ensures that every sugar crystal is evenly coated with cannabinoids. A little patience here goes a long way toward smooth, consistent cannabis sugar.
  • Avoid high heat: This preserves the potency of THC and other cannabinoids. Excessive heat can degrade these compounds, reducing the effectiveness of your THC sugar.
  • Optimal air-drying: Use a breathable cover like cheesecloth to keep dust and debris out while still allowing moisture to evaporate. This method takes longer but preserves flavour and potency.
  • Consistent dosing: Make sure sugar granules are coated evenly. Uneven coating can lead to some serving being stronger than others, so take your time mixing thoroughly.

Variation

Variations

Once you’ve nailed this simple recipe, consider branching out with different variations to get creative with these adjustments:

  • Add flavours during drying: Enhance your sugar with subtle notes of vanilla, citrus zest, and cinnamon. These small additions can make your THC-infused sugar feel gourmet.
  • Try different sugar types: Swap granulated sugar for demerara, cane, or brown sugar. Each type brings its own texture and flavour profile, giving your cannasugar a unique twist.
  • Get creative: Sprinkle it on desserts, add it to beverages like coffee or tea, use it in cocktails, or even form infused sugar cubes for a fun way to dose.
