Mastering homemade edibles starts with a crucial step: decarboxylation. But which method truly optimizes potency, flavor, and shelf life? Let's dive into the science behind activating your cannabis for unparalleled culinary creations.

The Art of Decarboxylation: Grind or Not to Grind?

When preparing cannabis for decarboxylation, the question of grinding is pivotal.

The Case for Grinding: A coarse grind significantly increases the surface area of your cannabis, promoting more even heat penetration and ensuring a consistent decarb process. This is generally recommended for conventional oven methods where heat distribution can vary.

Convection Ovens: These widely used ovens rely on circulating hot air for efficient, even heating. While effective for decarb, their temperature can fluctuate, and the open environment allows for terpene evaporation.

Vacuum-Controlled Temperature Ovens: These specialized ovens create a low-pressure, controlled environment ideal for heat-sensitive materials. They offer incredibly precise, uniform heating, making them superior for preserving volatile compounds and allowing for successful decarboxylation of unground cannabis.

Sous Vide Water Bath: While it involves submerging a sealed container in heated water, a sous vide setup does not create a vacuum. It relies on precise heat transfer through the water to consistently warm the sealed cannabis. The sealed environment does, however, contain terpenes that vaporize, minimizing odor and reabsorbing flavors.

Optimizing Your Decarboxylation & Infusion Process:

For the home chef, understanding these distinctions allows for strategic method selection. Here are two highly effective approaches:

Method 1: Oven Decarboxylation (for efficiency) followed by Sous Vide Infusion (for precision & odor control)

1. Decarboxylation (Oven Method):

Temperature: 220-240°F (104-115°C)

Time: 30 minutes to 1 hour (until no visible smoking)

Why: This method leverages the oven's efficiency for rapid THCA-to-THC conversion. A coarse grind is recommended here to ensure even heat penetration across the plant material in the fluctuating oven environment.

Process: Coarsely grind your cannabis (avoiding a fine powder). Spread evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Decarb in a preheated oven. Cool completely.

2. Infusion (Sous Vide Method):

Temperature: 185°F (85°C)

Time: 4-8 hours (4 hours is often sufficient; 6-8 hours for maximum extraction)

Why: After activation, sous vide excels at infusion. Its precise, consistent temperature ensures optimal cannabinoid binding to fats (like butter or oil) without degradation. Crucially, sealing the decarbed cannabis and fat in a vacuum-sealable bag eliminates odor during the long infusion process, making it highly discreet and mess-free.

Process: Combine your cooled, decarboxylated cannabis with melted (and slightly cooled) butter/oil in a vacuum-sealable bag or Mason jar. Submerge in a preheated sous vide water bath at 185°F (85°C). After infusion, strain the mixture through cheesecloth to remove plant matter.

Method 2: Full Sous Vide Decarboxylation & Infusion (for maximum terpene preservation & containment)

1. Decarboxylation (Sous Vide Method):

Temperature: 203°F (95°C)

Time: 90 minutes to 3 hours (some sources extend up to 24 hours for ultimate conversion)

Why: This lower, more precise sous vide temperature is gentle enough to preserve a higher percentage of volatile terpenes, contributing to a richer flavor profile and potentially a more nuanced "entourage effect." The sealed bag completely contains odor throughout the decarb process.

Process: Coarsely grind your cannabis. Place in a vacuum-sealable bag. Submerge in a preheated sous vide bath at 203°F (95°C). Cool completely.

2. Infusion (Sous Vide Method): (Same as Method 1, step 2)

Temperature: 185°F (85°C)

Time: 4-8 hours

Why: Ideal for efficient binding, odor control, and comprehensive extraction.

Process: Combine cooled, sous-vide decarbed cannabis with butter/oil in a sealed bag. Submerge in a preheated sous vide bath at 185°F (85°C). Strain after infusion.

Calculating Your Infusion Potency

To ensure precise dosing in your future recipes, you must calculate the potency of your master infusion once it is strained and cooled.

1. Determine Total THC Content If you know the THC percentage of your starting flower (e.g., 20% THC) and the weight of the material used (e.g., 7 grams), use the following:

• Formula: (Total Weight of Cannabis in mg) x (THC Percentage) = Total mg of THC in batch.

• Example: 7,000 mg (7g) x 0.20 = 1,400 mg total THC.

2. Determine Potency per ml Divide the total mg of THC by the total volume of oil or butter used.

• Formula: (Total mg of THC) / (Total ml of Oil) = Potency per ml.

• Example: 1,400 mg / 250 ml oil = 5.6 mg per ml.

3. Scaling for Recipes Once you know your mg/ml, you can easily scale any recipe by dividing your target dose by your oil's potency.

• Formula: (Target Dose in mg) / (Infusion Potency in mg/ml) = ml of Infusion needed.

Please check out the edible calculator tab to dose correctly for your specific batch size and desired strength.

Preparation & Decarboxylation

• Decarboxylation: Begin by heating your concentrate (the chef used live resin) at 220°F to 240°F.

• Monitor Bubbles: Heat until you see a little bit of bubbling, and wait until the bubbles stop forming completely.

• Cooling: It is recommended to let the concentrate sit until it hardens, as this makes it easier to work with when melting it into the bowl later.

Infusion Process

• Set up Heat: Place a bowl over a pot of boiling water. Ensure the heat is not too high, as you do not want to smoke, burn, or vape the concentrate.

• Combine: Add a small amount of MCT oil to the bowl.

• Dilute: Gradually add your decarbed concentrate to the MCT oil, mixing thoroughly to ensure it is fully diluted.

• Adjust: You can add more MCT oil depending on how much you intend to use in your final product; however, using less oil is generally recommended to keep the overall oil content in your product lower.

• Final Check: Ensure there are no hard bits left; if the mixture is difficult to dilute, return the bowl to the boiling water to continue heating until it is fully incorporated.Dosage Instructions

1. Determine Your Dosage Use your master infusion standard (10 mg/ml) to calculate the volume needed per serving. Formula: (Target Dose in mg) / (Master Infusion Potency in mg/ml) = Volume of Infusion in ml

2. Practical Example If you want to achieve a 10 mg dose for a single serving:

• Target Dose: 10 mg

• Master Infusion Potency: 10 mg/ml

• Calculation: 10 mg / 10 mg/ml = 1 ml of infused MCT oil

3. Integration Instructions

• Calculate Volume: Use your final diluted concentrate mixture to establish your precise mg per ml ratio.

• Measure First: Using a calibrated dropper or syringe, measure exactly the calculated amount of your infused MCT oil.

• Incorporate: Add the measured oil directly into your recipe base, mixing thoroughly to ensure even distribution and prevent hot spots.

Tips for Consistency

• Start Low, Go Slow: If you are unsure of an individual's tolerance, start with a lower dose and wait for full effects before serving more.

• Calibrated Tools: Always use a laboratory-grade dropper or oral syringe rather than standard kitchen spoons to ensure the measurement is exact.

welcome to Episode 2 of the series. We are building the Hibiscus & Butterfly Pea Blossom Master Oil—a "Ghost Infusion" designed for surgical precision and zero "weedy" aftertaste. This is where French technique meets botanical science.

The "Goldilocks" Process:

We utilize a sustained 4-hour thermal bath at 186°F. This isn’t just a recipe; it’s about Absolute Homogenization and Molecular Stability. By maintaining this precise temperature, we push extraction efficiency toward 98%+, ensuring every milliliter holds the exact same concentration of active compounds. No "hot spots," no "dud" doses—just professional-grade stability.

The Math (Master Oil Formulation):

To hit our standardized 1 ml = 5 mg target, we calculate based on a 79.6% Live Rosin concentrate:

Total mg: 360 mg (weight) x 0.796 (potency) = 286.56 mg total THC.

Target Concentration: 5 mg per 1 ml.

Total Volume Needed: 286.56 mg ÷ 5 mg ≈ 57 ml of MCT oil.

The Terpene Bridge & Entourage Effect:

In this episode, we are leveraging the Linalool from the Hibiscus and the floral profiles of the Butterfly Pea to bridge with the Caryophyllene in our concentrate. This "Terpene Bridge" is what creates the Entourage Effect—where the botanical compounds work together to modulate the experience.

By "trapping" these delicate aromatics at 186°F, we engineer a functional, anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effect. The result is a relaxed, social, and lucid headspace that enhances the sensory details of a meal rather than masking them.

 It moves away from "kitchen guesswork" and into Culinary Science.

1. Maximum Extraction Efficiency (The Yield)

Standard stovetop methods are inefficient; they often leave 5–10% of your active compounds trapped in the botanical "sludge" or concentrate.

The Science: By using a sustained 4-hour thermal bath at 186°F, you create enough kinetic energy to pull 98%+ of those compounds into the oil.

The Result: Your final product hits the calculated dose exactly. You aren't losing money or potency to the trash bin.

2. Absolute Homogenization (The Consistency)

In a pot on a stove, you get "hot spots" where the oil at the bottom is hotter than the top, leading to uneven potency.

The Science: Sous-vide provides total thermal stability. Because the water surrounds the vessel, every single milliliter of MCT oil is held at the exact same temperature.

The Result: Every drop of your Master Oil is identical. You eliminate the risk of one guest getting a "dud" and another getting an overdose.

3. Terpene & Profile Preservation (The Flavor & Feeling)

186°F is called the "Goldilocks" temperature for a reason.

The Science: It is high enough to facilitate a deep molecular bond between the cannabinoids and the fats in the MCT oil, but low enough that it won't scorch or "burn off" delicate aromatics.

The Result: This preserves the Entourage Effect. You keep the clean, botanical flavors of the Hibiscus and Butterfly Pea, ensuring the experience is high-quality and functional rather than tasting like burnt plant matter.

4. Molecular Stability & Shelf Life (The Durability)

Poorly made infusions often "sweat" (where the oil leaks out of the final food product) or separate over time.

The Science: The extended heat cycle "pre-conditions" the oil. It allows the infusion to form a permanent bond with emulsifiers like lecithin.

The Result: You get a professional-grade emulsion that is shelf-stable. Your sauces and oils won't separate, maintaining the look and dosage of your dish from the kitchen to the table.

The "Cannabinoid Tax": Calculating for Absolute Precision

To hit a Red Seal standard, you have to account for the "Tax" on your ingredients—specifically the Decarb Coefficient and Extraction Efficiency. If you don't calculate these, your dose will be "light."

The "Executive Chef" Formula

To get the True Milligrams on the plate, run the math like this:

Total mg = (Weight in grams x 1000) x Potency x 0.877 (Decarb) x 0.95 (Efficiency)

Applying it to 0.36g (79.6%) Live Rosin:

Raw Potential: 360 mg x 0.796 = 286.56 mg

After Decarb Tax: 286.56 x 0.877 = 251.31 mg

After Extraction Tax (95%): 251.31 x 0.95 = 238.74 mg The Result: 238.74 mg is your actual usable THC for the entire batch. To hit your 5 mg per 1 ml target, you would mix this into exactly 47.7 ml of MCT oil.

We are modernizing the industry through collaboration and correct formulations. Level up.

Ever served an infusion to a guest who felt absolutely nothing? It’s a metabolic bottleneck. Welcome back to Take ’Em to School. Tonight, we execute a total system override using precision plant chemistry to target CB1 and CB2 receptors.

For "non-responders," a hyperactive liver enzyme called CYP2C9 aggressively destroys cannabinoids before they ever reach the bloodstream. To defeat this bottleneck, we break down two distinct pathways: the Water-in-Oil Microemulsion (Version 1) and a Pure Infused Oil Base (Version 2).

By utilizing a high-performance phospholipid surfactant and heavy LCT lipids, we force a direct Lymphatic Bypass or sublingual cellular shortcut to skip first-pass liver destruction entirely.

Video Production & Chef: Kris Saccary (@krazz_chef)

🔬 THE SCIENCE IN BRIEF

Version 1 (Emulsion): Uses a surfactant to fuse water-soluble elements (apigenin, gingerols, ternatins) into oil molecules for rapid-fire sublingual/mucosal absorption (15–30 mins).

Version 2 (Pure Oil): Relies strictly on fat digestion (45–90 mins). Requires heavy LCT fats to force a Lymphatic Bypass via chylomicron production in the gut.

The Plant Allies: Chamomile (apigenin) acts as a CYP2C9 liver enzyme inhibitor; Grated ginger (gingerols) accelerates gastric motility; Butterfly pea flower (ternatins) serves as an antioxidant shield against degradation.

🍳 SYSTEM 1 RECIPE: WATER-IN-OIL MICROEMULSION

Fuses water-soluble botanicals into fats for an ultra-fast, sublingual pathway. Adaptable for raw flower, hash, distillate, or extracts.

The Build:

Carrier: 240 mL (1 Cup) Avocado Oil (Heavy LCT Base)

Payload: [Insert Your Weight Here] (Scale using the 0.877 decarb factor)

Surfactant: 5 mL (1 Tsp) Liquid Sunflower Lecithin

Shield: Chamomile Flower, Hibiscus Flowers, Butterfly Pea Blossoms, and Grated Ginger

Framework: Xanthan Gum (Fluid gel stabilizer)

Steps:

Decarb: Activate flower/concentrates at 220°F–240°F until bubbles stop.

Reduce: Simmer and reduce botanicals and ginger in water; strain and set aside.

Integrate: Heat avocado oil to 60°C–65°C (140°F–150°F). Shear mix your activated payload into the oil for 3–5 minutes until uniform.

Fuse: Whisk in your sunflower lecithin and your strained botanical reduction while holding the 60°C floor to establish the microemulsion.

Lock & Blend: Vacuum seal and sous-vide at 185°F for 2 to 4 hours. Strain sediment and hit it with an immersion blender on high until completely glossy and uniform.

🍳 SYSTEM 2 RECIPE: PURE INFUSED OIL BASE

Skips the water phase entirely to focus strictly on fat digestion and automatic lymphatic system bypass.

The Build:

Carrier: 240 mL (1 Cup) Avocado Oil (Heavy LCT Base)

Payload: [Insert Your Weight Here] (Flower or concentrate scaled to your milligram target)

Surfactant: 5 mL (1 Tsp) Liquid Sunflower Lecithin

Steps:

Decarb: Activate flower/concentrates at 220°F–240°F until bubble activity stops.

Dilute: Combine activated payload directly into your avocado oil over a gentle double boiler.

Thermal Floor: Bring the oil base to 60°C–65°C (140°F–150°F). Whisk continuously for 3–5 minutes to achieve complete molecular dispersion.

Encapsulate: Add liquid sunflower lecithin while strictly holding the 60°C floor. Whisk vigorously for 2–3 minutes to secure the phospholipid capsule.

Lock & Finish: Vacuum seal the oil matrix and sous-vide at 185°F for 2 to 4 hours. Remove, strain if using flower, and run your immersion blender briefly to finish.

Cannabis-Infused Pork Fat (Lard) or Beef Tallow

Infusing animal fats like pork fat (lard) or beef tallow with cannabis concentrate is a fantastic way to create potent, versatile, and stable cannabis-infused products, especially for savory culinary applications. Cannabinoids are fat-soluble, meaning they readily bind to fats, making animal fats ideal carriers.

Before You Begin: Critical Considerations

1. Decarboxylation of Concentrate (If Necessary)

If your cannabis concentrate (e.g., distillate, RSO, concentrates made from decarbed flower) is already "activated," you can skip this step. However, if your concentrate is primarily THCA or CBDA (like live resin or some forms of rosin from un-decarbed flower), you must decarboxylate it first to convert these acidic cannabinoids into their active forms (THC, CBD).

How to Decarb Concentrate:

Spread a thin layer of your concentrate evenly on parchment paper placed on a baking sheet.

Preheat your oven to a low temperature of 240-250°F (115-121°C).

Bake for 20-40 minutes, or until the bubbling subsides. The exact time depends on the concentrate's consistency. Watch it carefully to avoid burning.

2. Potency Calculation (Crucial for Consistent Dosing)

Knowing the potency of your final product ensures safe and effective dosing.

Know your concentrate's potency: Concentrates usually have a percentage of total cannabinoids listed (e.g., 70% THC, 85% CBD).

Determine desired potency per serving: Decide how many milligrams of THC/CBD you want in each teaspoon or tablespoon of your infused fat.

Use an online calculator: Many cannabis edibles websites offer calculators where you input the concentrate's potency, the amount of concentrate, and the volume of fat to estimate the potency per serving.

Example: If you have 1 gram (1000mg) of 80% THC concentrate, you have 800mg of THC. If you infuse that into 1 cup (240mL) of fat, you can then calculate the milligrams per tablespoon or teaspoon.

Method 1: Direct Infusion (Ideal for Most Concentrates)

This is the simplest and most common method for infusing cannabis concentrates into animal fats.

Yields: Varies by fat volume

Prep time: 5-10 minutes

Infusion time: 1-4 hours

Cooling time: 2-4 hours

Ingredients

High-Quality Rendered Animal Fat: Pork Fat (Lard) or Beef Tallow (amount will depend on desired potency)

Decarboxylated Cannabis Concentrate: (e.g., distillate, RSO, BHO, shatter, wax, rosin)

Optional: 1/2 teaspoon Lecithin (sunflower or soy) per cup of fat, as an emulsifier to potentially improve bioavailability and prevent separation.

Equipment

Double boiler, slow cooker, or a saucepan with precise temperature control

Heat-safe glass jar (e.g., Mason jar) or silicone container

Spatula or stirring utensil

Digital Probe Thermometer (highly recommended for accuracy)

Airtight storage container(s) for the finished product use edible calculator to find correct dosage . 

Dosage Instructions

1. Determine Total Batch Potency Calculate your total THC content based on the potency of your concentrate (typically listed as a percentage) and the total volume of fat used. Formula: (Total Weight of Concentrate in mg) x (THC Percentage) = Total mg of active THC per batch.

2. Practical Example If you use 1 gram (1,000 mg) of concentrate at 80% THC infused into 1 cup (16 tablespoons) of rendered fat:

• Total Batch Potency: 1,000 mg x 0.80 = 800 mg total THC.

• Per Tablespoon: 800 mg / 16 tablespoons = 50 mg per tablespoon.

3. Integration Instructions

• Temperature Control: When melting your fat and incorporating the concentrate, use a double boiler or low heat. Do not exceed 240°F (115°C) to prevent degrading your cannabinoids.

• Emulsification: Add the lecithin if using, and whisk the concentrate into the warm fat for at least 3-5 minutes to ensure a perfectly homogeneous mixture.

• Uniformity: Animal fats solidify at room temperature. For consistent dosing, you must ensure the mixture is completely uniform before it cools and hardens, otherwise, you may end up with potency pockets.

Tips for Consistency

• Start Low, Go Slow: If you are unsure of an individual's tolerance, start with a lower dose per serving and wait for full effects before consuming more.

• Storage & Safety: Store your infused fat in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. Treat this infused fat as a dedicated culinary ingredient—keep it labeled clearly and do not cross-contaminate with non-infused kitchen supplies. If using this fat for high-heat frying, be aware that excessive heat can degrade the cannabinoids; use responsibly.

The Sous Vide Secret: Crafting Perfect Cannabis Oil! 🌿for olive or finishing oils.

Are you tired of inconsistent edibles? The secret to creating clean, potent, and terpene-rich cannabis oil lies in sous vide precision! This method guarantees perfect decarboxylation every time.

production camera chef - kris saccary @krazz_chef

- music- Broken Machine Loop - HipHop / Media HD Music

Follow this method for accurate dosing and amazing flavor!

Phase 1: Decarboxylation (Activation)

Grind your flower/trim (not too fine!) for even activation (THCA to THC).

Place product in a Cryovac food-safe bag. Vacuum seal, double-bag, and seal airtight.

Sous Vide: Pop in bath at 203°F (95°C) for 90 minutes. This preserves those precious terpenes!

Phase 2: Infusion

Transfer decarbed product to a new bag. Pour in your oil, calculated for accurate dosage.

Seal shut (no air helps!) and double-bag it again.

Sous Vide: Set bath to 185°F (85°C) for 4 hours. Relax, rest, don't worry—the sous vide is doing the work!

Once done, strain in a cheesecloth or coffee filter for a refined finishing oil. Enjoy!

⚠️ Safety & Dosage

Accurate dosing is critical. Use these resources to estimate your final potency:

Sous Vide Cannabis Oil: Precision Dosing Protocol

To achieve professional-grade consistency with flower infusions, you must account for the efficiency of the plant material extraction. Use this protocol to ensure every milliliter of your finishing oil is accurately dosed.

The Flower-to-Oil Formula

Use these variables to calculate your total batch potency:

W = Weight of Flower (grams)

P = Potency of flower (e.g., 20% = 0.20)

0.877 = Decarb Coefficient (Standard constant)

0.85 = Infusion Efficiency (Standard sous vide extraction factor)

The Master Formula:

Total mg THC in Oil = (W * 1000) * P * 0.877 * 0.85

Step-by-Step Calculation Guide

Raw Mass: Multiply your grams of flower by 1000 to get milligrams.

Potential THC: Multiply that result by your strain’s potency percentage.

Activation: Multiply by 0.877 to account for mass loss during decarboxylation.

Extraction: Multiply by 0.85 to account for the efficiency of the sous vide process.

Final Dosage: Divide the Total mg THC by your Total Volume of Oil (ml) to get your mg/ml potency.

Practical Example (10g at 20% Potency in 250ml Oil)

Raw Mass: 10g * 1000 = 10,000mg

Potential THC: 10,000mg * 0.20 = 2,000mg

After Decarb: 2,000mg * 0.877 = 1,754mg

After Infusion: 1,754mg * 0.85 = 1,491mg Total THC in the batch.

Dosage per ml: 1,491mg / 250ml = 5.96mg per ml.

Chef’s Tips for Success

Oil Selection: Olive oil is chemically delicate. Store finished infusions in dark, amber glass bottles in a cool, dark place (or the refrigerator) to prevent oxidation and rancidity.

Filter Efficiency: Use a fine-mesh cheesecloth followed by a coffee filter to remove all particulate matter. Residual plant matter will continue to degrade the flavor of your finishing oil over time.

Consistency: For high-volume service, always use a graduated cylinder to measure your oil volume before and after infusion to account for any oil absorbed by the plant material.

For future batches, keep these calculations in the Pride Precision App to quickly adjust your infusion ratios based on different flower potencies.

Recipe: Sous Vide Afghan Hash-Infused MCT Oil & Honey for Hot Drinks

Part 1: Sous Vide Afghan Hash-Infused MCT Oil – The Potent Elixir

Sous vide offers unparalleled control for optimal decarboxylation & infusion, preserving delicate compounds. Perfect for Afghan hash.

What You'll Need:

Afghan Hash: 1 gram (adjust to desired potency). Our choice of Afghan hash aligns with the rich Krazz_Chef theme.

MCT Oil: 100ml

Container for Infusion: Food-safe vacuum sealable bag (Cryovac recommended).

Double Boiler Setup.

Whisk/Spatula.

Sous Vide Immersion Circulator.

Large Pot/Water Bath.

Optional: Fine-mesh strainer/cheesecloth.

Instructions:

Prepare Hash: Flatten Afghan hash thinly, then crumble into small, even pieces for even decarboxylation.

Initial Combine (Double Boiler): In a double boiler, gently whisk crumbled hash and 100ml MCT oil for 5-10 mins. This warms the oil and helps distribute the hash evenly. Don't worry if it's not fully absorbed; sous vide will finish it.

Transfer to Bag: Pour mixture into a vacuum sealable bag. Seal, removing as much air as possible. (Use water displacement method if no vacuum sealer).

Set Sous Vide: Fill pot with water. Set circulator to 185°F (85°C). Allow to reach temp. This temperature provides controlled decarb and thorough infusion, preserving terpenes.

Sous Vide Process: Submerge sealed bag. Cook for 2 to 4 hours (3-4 hours recommended for robust decarb/infusion).

Cool & Strain: Remove bag, cool to room temp. Open. Strain oil through a fine-mesh strainer (lined with cheesecloth if desired) to separate solids. Gently press solids.

Storage: Store infused MCT oil in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for several months.

Dosage is Key: Start with a very small dose (e.g., 1/4 teaspoon) and wait 1-2 hours to gauge effects.

Dosage Instructions

1. Determine Total Batch Potency Because hash potency varies, you must first calculate the total mg of THC in your 1 gram of hash. Formula: (Total Weight of Hash in mg) x (THC Percentage of Hash) = Total mg of active THC.

2. Practical Example If your 1 gram (1,000 mg) of Afghan Hash is 40% THC:

• Total Batch Potency: 1,000 mg x 0.40 = 400 mg total THC.

• Infusion Potency: 400 mg / 100 ml MCT oil = 4 mg per ml of oil.

3. Integration & Honey Dosing

• Oil Dosage: Once strained, your oil is 4 mg/ml. If you use 1 ml, you get a 4 mg dose.

• Honey Dilution: When mixing 1 part infused oil with 3 parts honey, the total potency remains the same, but it is now spread across a larger volume.

  • Example: If you mix 2 tbsp (30 ml) of your 4 mg/ml oil with 6 tbsp honey, you have 120 mg of THC in that honey mixture.

  • Dosing the Honey: Divide the total mg (120 mg) by the number of servings or spoonfuls you intend to use.

Tips for Consistency

• Start Low, Go Slow: If you are unsure of an individual's tolerance, start with a lower dose and wait for full effects (especially with sublingual absorption) before consuming more.

• Emulsification: When making the infused honey, whisk the lecithin and oil into the honey thoroughly. Because oil and honey naturally separate, store in an airtight jar and give it a quick stir before each use to ensure your dose remains consistent.
