How to make weed honey

From its delicious flavours and low glycaemic index to its rich antioxidant content, honey is the perfect vessel for weed. Here's how to make your own cannahoney.

Step-by-step recipe

Step 1: Dose your honey and tincture. To avoid ending up with a product that’s either ineffective or overly potent, you need to know the potency of your cannabis tincture. Then, add one dose of tincture for every tablespoon of honey.

Dose your honey and tincture.

 

Step 2: Mix your honey and tincture in a heatproof container (such as a round Pyrex dish). Stir to combine.
