Cannabis-Infused Sugar
Equipment
- baking dish
- silicone spatula
- cheesecloth
- heat mat (optional, for drying)
Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar (use certified vegan sugar to make it vegan)
- 1/2 cup cannabis tincture
Directions
- Add the sugar to a baking dish.
- Pour your tincture over the sugar.
- Use a silicone spatula to mix the sugar and tincture thoroughly, coating the sugar. The mixture will resemble wet sand.
- Cover the dish with a layer of cheesecloth to keep dust, cat hair, fairies, and other debris out of your sugar.
- Place the dish somewhere it won't be disturbed and allow the alcohol to evaporate completely. Stir frequently (5-6 times a day) to ensure complete evaporation. If you're looking to speed up evaporation, keep in mind that alcohol is EXTREMELY flammable. I use a heat mat for seedlings underneath my baking dish as a source of low heat to speed up evaporation.
- The sugar is ready when it again looks like dry sugar, and it no longer smells like alcohol.
- Store in an air-tight container in a cool, dark place.

Edible safety
- Label it. Mark every container as cannabis-infused, with the estimated dose per serving and the date you made it.
- Lock it up. Store edibles out of sight and reach of children and pets, away from your regular food. A locked box is best.
- Start low, go slow. Edibles can take 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in. Wait at least 2 hours before eating more.
- Skip it if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, and never drive after eating edibles.
- If a child or pet eats some, call Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222 (US) or your vet right away. Call 911 if someone has trouble breathing or won't wake up.
