How to Make Canna Syrup
Canna syrup is a simple and versatile ingredient that requires only four ingredients and minimal cooking time. It can be stored in the fridge for up to three months and is also vegan! This syrup can be used in any recipe that calls for sugar or simple syrup.
Canna syrup mixes well with both cold and hot beverages, such as smoothies or tea. If you prefer non-alcoholic cocktails, you can add it to juice or tonic with ice for a refreshing drink that offers a pleasant buzz.
Additionally, it makes an excellent substitute for maple syrup. It can be drizzled over pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or any other treat you enjoy.
Top Tips For Making Canna Syrup
- This recipe requires cannabis flower, but you can also use shake or trim. Note that the potency may vary depending on your choice.
- While canna syrup is known to take effect quickly, it can take up to 45 minutes to begin feeling the effects. With edibles, it's important to start with a low dose and go slow.
- A starting dose of 1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon is a good beginning. Once you determine the strength of your syrup, you can adjust your serving size to match your preferences.
- Always keep edibles out of reach of children. Make sure to store the syrup safely, away from little hands.
How Do You Make Canna Syrup?
Ingredients:
- 3 cups of water
- 3 cups of granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons of vegetable glycerin (available at most grocery stores; use 100% food-grade glycerin)
- 1-3 grams of cannabis flower
- Optional: Flavouring or extract (such as lemon, mint, or vanilla)
Equipment:
- Saucepan
- Fine mesh strainer
- Storage container
Method:
1. Decarboxylate your cannabis flower.
2. Boil the water** in a saucepan.
3. Add the sugar** to the boiling water and stir until it dissolves. Then, add the cannabis flower and mix well. You can also add any flavour extract at this point if desired.
4. Cover the saucepan** and allow the mixture to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring every few minutes. Keep the heat on low to medium after the initial boil to avoid burning off any THC.
5. Remove the lid and add the glycerin.** Simmer uncovered for 7-10 minutes until the mixture thickens, stirring regularly. Do not leave the mixture unattended, as it may begin to congeal.
6. Remove from heat** and let the mixture cool. Strain it through a fine mesh strainer into a small container.
7. Store the syrup in the refrigerator** for up to three months.
