About The Recipe
Make sure you have your dried flower weighed out. Remember to record the percentage of THC and/or CBD in the dried flower as you will need it to calculate the potency of your final infusion. I like to use online dosage calculators like my own at the bottom of this page! Feel free to also use more or less dried flower than what I’ve suggested in the recipe below. It really all depends on how potent you want your infusion to be. As a reminder, it’s always best to start low and go slow.
Another way that I use to determine the % of THC and/or CBD in my final product is that I use the tCheck potency tester device. This device can provide an approximate potency test for oils, dried flower, and glycerins. If you use my promo code here you can get $25 off your purchase!
WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS RECIPE
- Cannabis honey is a delicious infusion that is very versatile and can be used for cooking and baking
- Naturally sweetened — honey is an excellent natural sweetener that contains a good source of antioxidants and nutrients
- Easy to make, mess-free, and odour-free
Ingredient Substitutions
- Honey: This recipe will work for maple syrup, agave syrup, or any other liquid non-fat sweetener that you want to infuse. I recommend using a non pasteurized, raw honey as that will have the most nutrients and be less processed compared to traditional commercial honeys.
- Coconut Oil: The key to making cannabis honey is to add a little bit of coconut oil to the infusion. Now you might be thinking this is a bit weird, but trust me, you won’t even taste or notice the coconut oil. This fatty ingredient is very popular amongst cannabis enthusiasts because it’s high in fat which compliments cannabinoid absorption. The ratio that I used was 10% coconut oil vs. 90% honey.
- Dried Cannabis Flower: You can infuse any form of cannabis into maple syrup — concentrates or flower, both work! It ultimately depends on what you want to use the olive oil for. Concentrates will generally be higher in terpene and cannabinoid percentage so you may want to keep that in mind when calculating the potency of your oil.
TIPS & TRICKS
- Investing in a cannabis decarbing and infusing machine was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! I have the LEVO II and it's a great option for decarbing and infusing cannabis. Essentially this device is a simpler and newer way to decarb and infuse cannabis and turn them into lovely oils, butters, and much more. They’re alot easier and cleaner to use than the traditional oven or stovetop or crockpot methods, which I find can leave a lingering odour in your home for many days.

- Decarboxylation and storage of your cannabis infusion are two very important components of the entire infusion process. Read this post on why you need to decarboxylate and what are the best ways to store your cannabis infusions.

Q: How long does this recipe take to kick in?
A: Cannabis oil is considered to be a cannabis edible, which means that it has to be ingested and processed by your liver before heading up to your blood brain barrier. The onset of cannabis edibles can range from person to person, and can also be impacted by a variety of factors, such as one’s metabolism.
