The recipe

Recipe / 04

Cannabinoids dissolve more effectively in fat than in honey alone, so this method first makes a small coconut-oil infusion, then blends it into honey with lecithin for a smoother, more even mixture.

What you’ll need.

  • 3.5g decarboxylated cannabis flower or shake, coarsely broken up
  • ¼ cup refined coconut oil
  • 1 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon sunflower lecithin
  • Fine-mesh strainer and cheesecloth
  • Clean, dry airtight glass jar

Let’s make it.

Phase 1: Decarboxylation

Controlled oven heat activates the cannabis before infusion.

  1. 01

    Preheat the oven to 240°F (115°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 02

    Break the cannabis into coarse, even pieces and spread it in a single layer. Do not grind it into powder.

  3. 03

    Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, gently stirring once halfway through. Remove it when dry and lightly toasted, then cool completely.

Phase 2: Make the Infused Oil

The coconut oil carries the infusion and helps it blend into the honey.

  1. 01

    Combine the cooled decarboxylated cannabis and coconut oil in a small saucepan or double boiler.

  2. 02

    Warm over very low heat for 2 hours, keeping the mixture between 160°F and 180°F (70°C–80°C). Stir occasionally and never allow it to boil or smoke.

  3. 03

    Set a cheesecloth-lined fine-mesh strainer over a clean bowl. Pour the warm oil through it, let it drain, and gently press the cloth. Discard the spent cannabis.

Phase 3: Blend the Honey

  1. 01

    Place the honey in a clean bowl set over barely warm water. Warm it only until loose enough to stir; do not boil it.

  2. 02

    Whisk the sunflower lecithin into the warm infused coconut oil until smooth.

  3. 03

    Slowly whisk the oil mixture into the honey. Continue stirring for 3 to 5 minutes, until the mixture looks evenly combined.

  4. 04

    Transfer to a clean, dry airtight jar and label it clearly as cannabis-infused. Stir before each measured use, as some separation may occur.

Formulation & Consistency Notes

Storage: Keep the sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Let it soften briefly and stir before using.

Kitchen Use: Add a measured amount to tea after it has cooled slightly, spread it on toast, or stir it into yogurt. Avoid baking or boiling the finished honey.

Potency: Homemade infusion strength varies widely. Start with a small measured amount and wait at least 2 hours before consuming more. Laboratory testing is recommended for dependable milligrams per serving.

Honey is not suitable for children under 12 months, infused or otherwise.

For adults 21+ only. Keep cannabis products clearly labeled, stored securely, and away from children and pets. Never drive impaired.
