Cannabis Infused Honey

so its gettin close to Christmas, and i want to give my dad some cannabis honey. i figured if it is sold t clubs, i can make it as well instead of paying $25 for a tiny jar

I was perusing through the internet and came across a recipie that calls for making a tincture, letting the alcohol evaporate(like making oil) over the cource of a week and then combining the reduced substance with warm honey.

that sounds pretty easy to me, but i still have a few questions.

1. do i need to dry the shake and mids im using in the tincture?(i prolly sound like a broken record)

2. what percentage/proof of alcohol should i use? iv made canna-butter before and also canna olive oil, and a shot of brandy(usually E&J, im sure i could do better though) or vodca(even though i hate vodca) seems to do the trick when cooking, but will it do the same as a tincture? I usually prefer brandy as aposed to vodca because the sugar mixes better when cooking. is there anything better?

but yeah i was just seeing if anyone has tried to make infused honey. hope to hear some stories about how things came out. and ill be updating as i get this done.

Is Honey THC soluble? I read that you will need to add some sort of other agents to it like lecithin or oil.
I would imagine you would have to heat the honey up not sure the boiling point or if that would make honey spoil (it wont normally)

what you're talkin about is a suspension....

the alcohol initially extracts, then you vaporize the alcohol off and add honey.

yes you need dry shake.

use atleast 150 proof.

as stated dry trim or/ and bud.use grain(everclear) alcohol to extract oil.put in double boiler n evaporate by 1/2. add equal parts honey and 3-5 vitamin e-gel caps(puncture n squeeze out). reduce alcohol to zilch. i,ve not been able to get all grain out but, im an alcoholic that doesn,t drink, so, u shouldn,t have any problems with that. be patient, as it can take a while to do it right. use very low heat...pm me if you have any questions...i make for my father also, he loves it....peace brim

awesome! thanks guys ill report back with my results! brim that was more thorough than any other info ive been able to find!!

would it be possible to use a crock pot to make the tincture?

you dont have to heat to extract with alcohol. hit me up if need be....peace brim

the only way I know how to make tincture is the slow hippie method......

I put mine in a dark place in a brown paper bag, on something propped up over a space heater, it keeps the jar warm but not hot. this is essential to the process as it activates the thc and other cannabinoids.

bacardi 151 will work just fine if you want the sweet taste to it. I prefer the clean taste of everclear since I can do what I want with it mixed drink wise....

the best drink for me with this stuff has been making hot chocolate, waiting till it was warm, put the 4/5ths shot of tincture in it, wait for it to get ice cold, then chug it down .

works rather well.

it is very good stuff, I enjoy it greatly. the way to make it the most potent is to squish the material in the jar, and when it's moderately squished down add your alcohol and make sure it just barely covers the whole thing .

this stuff can be stored indefinitely, as long as it's kept in a cool dark place after straining it will be wonderful for months to come (if it lasts that long )

also after straining with cheese cloth I highly recommend running it through coffee filters, twice.
