Recipe excerpt from The Weed Gummies Cookbook by Monica Lo, published by Ulysses Press
Active Time: 5 minutes
Inactive Time: 24 hours
Ingredients:
• 1/4 oz (7g) cannabis flower, decarboxylated
• 2 cups high-proof alcohol, like Everclear or a strong grain alcohol
Directions:
-
Place the decarboxylated cannabis flower inside an empty mason jar and pour the grain alcohol over the top, covering the flower completely. Close the mason jar securely.
-
Store the jar in a cool, dark place such as a cupboard or closet, giving it a good shake every few hours to agitate the alcohol infusion. It will be ready to use within 24 hours.**
-
Prepare a cheesecloth a set it over a fine-mesh strainer. Pour the cannabis-infused tincture through the cheesecloth and into a measuring cup with a spout. Discard the solids. Transfer the finished tincture to clean jars or bottles. Store in a cool, dark place.
** Ardent’s lab testing shows that with a 3- hour Everclear soak, there is already significant cannabinoid extraction of over 80 percent. If you can wait longer, the additional overnight soak will give full potency.
