Cannabis Cocktails

When you want to treat yourself a refreshing cannabis-infused beverage, you need to heat the weed first so that the THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) compound will be activated. For this recipe, the herb will be activated by creating simple syrup of sugar, vegetable glycerin or propylene glycol, cannabis and water prior to mixing the final results of your drink.

Cannabis Simple Syrup

Ingredients:

• 3 cups fine granulated sugar
• 3 cups filtered, pure water
• 2 tablespoons of propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin
• 2 grams finely chopped high-grade cannabis

Directions:
The first thing you have to do is measure out equal parts of sugar and water then bring the water to a boil. Add in your finely chopped cannabis and stir in until the sugar has been completely dissolved. Cover the pot and let it boil for about 20 minutes. Reduce the temperature to medium fire and add in the glycerin then let it simmer for about 5 to 6 minutes. Continue stirring once every minute. Strain out the cannabis then let the simple syrup cool down. You’ll notice that the syrup has been reduced which then leaves you an approximate of 3 cups of the Cannabis Simple Syrup.

A 24 oz. of this simple syrup can equal to 12 moderate to strongly doses of cannabis beverages which will contain somewhere around 15 to 30 mg of THC per glass depending on how potent the cannabis you used for this.

So the next time you grow tired of smoking cannabis on a hot day, include this sweet beverage into your list for a refreshing and calming drink.
