6 Ways To Infuse Any Drink With Cannabis

4. Cannabis Simple Syrup

Ideal Pairings: Any Cocktail on the planet!

So maybe all this fatty food talk has you feeling a bit concerned about calories. The good news is that you don’t have to rely on fatty substances to infuse a drink with cannabis. You can make a delightfully simple cannabis simple syrup. And if you’re into mixing cocktails, you’re in for a mind-blowing experience.

Instead of using fat, this recipe calls for vegetable glycerine, which does the job of soaking up THC and other cannabinoids.

Recipe

Get your hands on

• 3 cups filtered water
• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp. vegetable glycerine (check your health food store)
• 2 grams high-quality cannabis nugs, chopped or ground
• a strainer or cheesecloth
• a container or jar

Are you noticing a pattern? You can do pretty much anything you want with cannabis, as long as you activate it and have something that will soak up the cannabinoids.

Bring the sugar and water to a nice, gentle boil. Gentleness is key when it comes to cooking with weed.

Next, toss in the cannabis, cover, and let boil for 20 minutes.

Reduce temp to low simmer and add the vegetable glycerin. Let this simmer for about 5 minutes, and make sure to stir frequently.

Let cool and pour the mixture through the cheesecloth into the container or jar. All in all, you should end up with about 3 cups of cannabis simple syrup.

The best part is you can toss this stuff in absolutely anything. From lemonade to tea to a gin a tonic, anything can become a killer THC-infused drink.
