How to Make Cannasugar

Published on 19 July 2023 at 03:09

Cannasugar has many different uses. You can use it in baked goods, to rim the glasses for cocktails, or my personal favorite, cannabis infused drinks!

 

  1. First, decarb your cannabis
    1. Grind your cannabis into small bits. Try to refrain from grinding it into a powder, as this can have the potential to slip through the cheese cloth or strainer you will be using.
    2. Place your cannabis on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper into one layer
    3. Place baking sheet and cannabis in a preheated 240 degree oven.
    4. Bake for about 20-30 minutes, giving the cannabis a good shake occasionally to allow all sides of the cannabis to be exposed to the heat of the oven.
    5. Once this is done, your cannabis is ready to infuse!
  2. Place your decarbed cannabis into a mason or ball jar along with 1 cup of grain alcohol and allow to steep for about 30 minutes shaking the jar periodically.

* 190 proof Everclear seems to be a favorite in the cannabis community for this. If you are in a state like mine, only 151 proof is available to the public. This should not effect your final product, although the 190 proof is preferred.

  1. Place your cheese cloth or strainer over a heat-safe bowl and strain the alcohol/cannabis mixture. Set your leftover cannabis aside.

4. On another parchment paper lined baking sheet, spread out 1 cup of granulated sugar and slowly pour the infused alcohol over the sugar. Mix together and spread the sugar over the baking sheet again and allow to dry for 12-16 hours. This process will allow the alcohol to evaporate. Once the alcohol smell has dissipated, you’re in business!
