Updated: Nov 11, 2021



This recipe is from Bill the Goat. Bill the Goat is an expert in home growing and also a food enthusiast. Check out his Instagram page for more growing tips and recipes!


Please note this recipe is not for beginners. Water is not a good solvent for cannabinoids. By making the canna syrup, you are wasting some level of cannabinoid in your flower and bud. This recipe is good for growers and low dosers. If you are looking for potent edible or sublingual ideas, check out our tincture page or cannabutter page for more information.

But if you are interested in an alcohol-free recipe, here we go.

Ingredients:

  • 10 grams flower or trim;

  • 2 grams kief (optional);

  • 4 cups water;

  • 4 cups sugar (I prefer raw cane sugar but granulated works as well);

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable glycerin (this is a binding agent and a thickener).


Preparation - Decarb Cannabis:

  1. Preheat oven for decarboxylation

  2. Set mode using #ECRUDecarb Kit

  3. Mix flower or trim with kief. Spread the mixture on the glass pan

  4. Cover the glass pan with a lid. Insert prob to the lid

  5. Start Baking

I like this item. The smell of baking cannabis is not a pleasant one for me. While I still smell it while I'm cooking with it, I don't smell it while it's baking. I like that the flower or trim doesn't overly brown as it does its foil, and I'm able to add kief to the mix without worrying about it sticking to the pan. It kinda reminds me of using the mason jar method without the need to roll the jar.

  1. Put the pan on the stove, then add water and bring water to boil

  2. Add sugar. Keep stirring until water returns to boil

  5. Add 3 teaspoons of vegetable glycerin. Add more if you prefer a thicker syrup

  6. Keep the mixture in medium heat. Stir occasionally


Preparation - Drain for Clean Syrup:

  1. Put cheesecloth on colander or strainer

  2. Pour water slowly

Conclusion:

Please do not make this recipe a very potent way to dose cannabinoids. Keep in mind water is not a good solvent for cannabinoids. The recipe will be exceptionally useful for growers. For store-bought cannabis flowers or buds, you might want to try making tincture or cannabutter at home. This recipe is for people who want to enjoy non-alcohol drinks and people who want to incorporate cannabis into their daily life.
