Be it in baked goods, coffee or tea, or drizzled on top of a breakfast bowl, honey holds the answer (and the flavor). But did you know that you can take your honey even further by infusing it with cannabis? Cannabis honey takes everything you love about regular honey and enhances it with the many properties of the cannabis plant.
Whether you’re just chasing a natural buzz or looking for innovative, smoke-free ways to harness the potential of cannabis, weed honey might just be your new ally in the kitchen. Best of all, it’s super simple to make.
From its delicious flavors and low glycemic index to its rich antioxidant content, honey is the perfect vessel for weed. Here's how to make your own cannahoney.
Step 1: Dose your honey and tincture. To avoid ending up with a product that’s either ineffective or overly potent, you need to know the potency of your cannabis tincture. Then, add one dose of tincture for every tablespoon of honey.
Step 2: Mix your honey and tincture in a heatproof container (such as a round Pyrex dish). Stir to combine.
Step 3: Place the bowl of cannabis honey on top of a saucepan filled with simmering (not boiling) water to create a water bath (or bain-marie).
Step 4: Heat the honey and stir it gently to combine it further. Add any flavorings you want (see below).
Step 5: Let the infused honey cool, then transfer it to an airtight container. Store it in a cool, dry, and dark place.
Our cannabis-infused honey is perfect for sweetening tea or coffee, drizzling over yogurt, or smothering on a warm piece of buttered toast. Just remember: at the dose we’ve prepared, one tablespoon of honey contains a full dose of tincture, so enjoy it responsibly!
Want to enhance your cannabis honey with even more flavor? Try adding one (or more) of the following ingredients to your honey in step 4 of the above recipe (or directly into whatever container you store it in):
Also, be sure to experiment with different types of honey for varying sweetness, flavors, and character. Finally, make sure to use a cannabis tincture with the desired effects you’re looking for; CBD tinctures work just as well as traditional tinctures, and are ideal for anyone wanting to enjoy cannabis without intense effects!
From morning toast to evening tea, weed honey offers sweetness plus the cannabis kick you’re after, whether it's an invigorating burst of euphoria or a mellow buzz.
But don’t just take our word for it: grab a jar, whip up your own batch, and experience it for yourself! And if you’re hungry for more, make sure to check out the other cannabis recipes on Zamnesia!
