What is THC Sweet Syrup and how is it made? (Updated recipe)

Using cannabis-infused oils or butters to prepare baked goods and savory dishes is a well-known way to enjoy edibles. But did you know that you can make a delicious THC syrup in no time with just a little sugar and water? Read on for a sweet introduction to the world of cannabis syrup, as well as an easy step-by-step recipe and guide on how to make this extra sweet cannabis-infused syrup at home.

WHAT EXACTLY IS THC SYRUP?

THC syrup is an extremely sweet edible made from water, cannabis, flavorings, and sugar. Whether you take it on its own, or enjoy it as a sweetener in coffee or tea, or even on top of a hot pile of pancakes, this tasty syrup is sure to not only give you the THC high we know and love, but yours too delight your taste buds.

THC syrups are typically golden or clear in color (like vape juice) and have a robust, thick feel like cough suppressant or maple syrup. They’re delicious too, and sensational flavors can be created with a variety of aromatic ingredients. Cannabis syrup often has the same effects as regular edibles, although it tends to work faster because it’s much more easily digested. Through

Due to its sugar content, THC syrup is recommended to be used moderately and with close attention to dosage. Although THC syrup has a relatively quick onset, it may still take a while to kick in, but the effects are long-lasting. As usual, it’s wise to start small and wait about an hour before considering a second dose to get a feel for the strength and effects of the syrup, as well as your tolerance.

DOSAGE OF CANNABIS SYRUP

Dosing edible cannabis correctly is always a little tricky. If you follow the recipe that comes later in this article, one teaspoon of syrup should give you a nice, clear, euphoric buzz that still allows you to get on with your day. However, if you are looking for a stronger, more psychoactive effect, try 2-3 tablespoons of syrup. As we have said before, it is recommended to start low and gradually build up your dose.

It should be noted that cannabis syrup should not be confused with Sizzurp or Lean, which are highly addictive and dangerous codeine-based concoctions made from prescription Linctus, fruit-flavored candies, and soft drinks.

CANNABIS SYRUP VS CANNABIS OIL

THC syrup may have similar properties to the world’s cannabis oil, but the two are different. In fact, cannabis syrup can use cannabis oil as its main ingredient. Anyhow, THC oil is often used to enhance both sweet and savory dishes, while THC syrup is a sweet component that’s relatively quick and easy to make, and you can use it like any other typical syrup.

MAKING CANNABIS SYRUP

THC syrup is very easy to make. A super simple recipe for a simple syrup is shared below, but it’s recommended to experiment with yours as well. You can use flavors like lemon zest, herbs like rosemary and basil, star anise, cloves, and more to flavor your syrup.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED

You will also need some utensils like a saucepan, strainer, weed curing jar, cheesecloth, Mason bottle, or jar to store your syrup.

To experiment with your syrup while making it, here are some optional flavors: cinnamon sticks, fresh fruit, herbs, fresh vanilla beans, whole spices (like cardamom, star anise, and cloves)

DIRECTIONS

1- When using cannabis flowers, make sure to grind your buds, spread them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and then place them in an oven preheated to 110ºC for about 30 minutes.

This is a process known as decarboxylation and it helps activate the cannabinoids in dry Glover’s to ensure your syrup is excellent and strong. Remember to take your bud out of the oven after about 20 minutes and shake it on the baking sheet so it de-carbonizes evenly.

When your kitchen starts to smell faintly of awesome weed, it’s done.

Note: When using cannabis concentrate, the need for decarboxylation varies from product to product. For example, while THC oils should already be decarbed, concentrates like BHO need to be heated. In this case, heat the BHO on parchment paper or a silicone mat in a heatproof bowl at the same temperature and time as the ground herb.

2- In a saucepan, combine any flavoring you have chosen with water and sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling begins, reduce the heat to low and stir the syrup continuously until all the sugar has dissolved.

3- Add the concentrate or decarbed buds and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 minutes. Then add the vegetable glycerine and continue cooking for 5 minutes, finally removing from the heat.

4- Allow the cannabis-infused syrup to cool, then strain it through a sieve lined with cheesecloth to extract any plant material and aromatic compounds used to flavor the syrup.
