How to Make THC Syrup at Home
THC syrup, a delicious and versatile way to enjoy the benefits of cannabis in a different form, is gaining popularity within the cannabis community. Its ability to add a cannabis twist to a wide variety of drinks and dishes makes it a must-have ingredient for any cannabis cooking enthusiast.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to make THC syrup at home in a simple way, so you can experiment with your own culinary creations and enjoy the relaxing and therapeutic effects of cannabis.
Step 1: Gather the Ingredients Needed to Make THC Syrup
To prepare THC syrup at home, you will need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups of sugar
- 1 cup of water
- 1 gram of cannabis buds
- 1 teaspoon of vegetable glycerin (optional, for a smoother texture)
Step 2: Decarboxylate the Cannabis Buds
Before starting the infusion process, it’s important to decarboxylate the cannabis buds to activate the cannabinoids. Preheat your oven to 115°C (240°F), grind the buds, and spread them evenly on a baking tray. Bake for 30–40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the buds are slightly golden and aromatic.
Step 3: Make the THC Syrup
In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it begins to boil, reduce the heat and add the decarboxylated buds. Let the mixture simmer for 20–30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Step 4: Strain and Bottle
Once the syrup has taken on a golden color and a cannabis aroma, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove any cannabis residue and obtain a smooth, lump-free syrup. Add the vegetable glycerin if desired for a smoother texture and mix well.
Step 5: Store and Enjoy
Pour the THC syrup into a sterilized glass jar and store it in the refrigerator. The syrup will keep for several weeks and will be ready to add a cannabis twist to your favorite drinks and dishes. Enjoy your homemade THC syrup in cocktails, coffee, desserts, and more. If you’d like, you can add it to some delicious Cannabis Crepes—find the recipe HERE.
