Recipe Note
*Be sure to finely grind your cannabis flower so that more of the beneficial cannabinoids stay in your honey.
*You must decarboxylate your cannabis flower prior to making infused honey to activate THC, if you want to experience a high.
*Any type of honey will work. However, you will get more health benefits by choosing locally sourced, raw, organic honey.
*You can also use agave nectar, maple syrup, or brown rice syrup instead of honey.
*Use a double boiler method to gently warm the honey so that you don't destroy all the good stuff you want in your local honey.
*Some separation will still occur with either method. Please stir the honey each time you use it to ensure more consistent dosage.
*Gently heat your honey if it has crystallized to bring it back to its liquid state.
*To test the potency of your infusions, add a half teaspoon of your infused honey to a cup of tea or spread on toast and see how this dose affects you after a couple hours. You can increase or decrease the dose from there. Remember to start low and go slow.
*You can add other herbs, such as vanilla, rose, lavender or rosemary to add both flavour and additional botanical compounds.
