Want to elevate your culinary game with precision dosing? In this tutorial, Executive Chef Kris Saccary breaks down how to turn an ounce of cannabis into two versatile pantry staples: cannabis-infused sugar (3 cups) and infused salt (2 cups) using a cold QWET alcohol extraction and a fine-mist sheet pan spray method.
By utilizing sub-zero freezer tech and high-proof alcohol (such as Everclear or 151 to 190 proof grain alcohol), we extract pure cannabinoids while keeping bitter chlorophyll out of the final product. Watch step-by-step from weighing to final airflow drying!📚

THE MASTER RECIPE & STEP-BY-STEP
INSTRUCTIONS
Batch Breakdown:
Sugar Batch:
half oz (14g) flower + 250 mL Everclear
3 cups white granulated sugar
(Brown or white sugar)
Salt Batch:
half oz (14g) flower + 250 mL Everclear
2 cups coarse Kosher or sea salt
(get creative with different type of salts)
Step 1: Weigh, Split & Decarboxylate
Weigh out 1 oz (28g) of flower and split it equally into two 1/2 oz (14g) batches—one for sugar, one for salt. Gently break up the buds into uniform popcorn-sized pieces (avoid grinding into fine dust).
Decarb each batch via sous-vide (203°F for 90 minutes) or oven (220°F to 240°F for 30 to 40 minutes) to activate psychoactive properties. Let cool completely.
Step 2: The Deep Freeze
Transfer each cooled 1/2 oz batch of flower into its own separate glass mason jar (Jar A for sugar, Jar B for salt). Place both jars and your high-proof alcohol into the freezer for at least 30 minutes to chill completely.
Step 3: Extraction & Straining
Pour 250 mL of ice-cold alcohol into Jar A and 250 mL into Jar B. Seal and shake vigorously for 3 to 5 minutes. Strain immediately through an unbleached paper coffee filter into clean vessels.
Step 4: Spray & Sheet Pan Setup
Transfer the strained tinctures into clean atomizer spray bottles. Spread 3 cups of sugar evenly across Pan A, and 2 cups of coarse salt across Pan B (lined with parchment paper).
Step 5: Misting & Air Evaporation
Hold the spray bottle 10 to 12 inches away and mist the sugar and salt evenly. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or whisk, repeating light misting passes until the spray bottles are empty.
Step 6: Final Drying & Processing
Set up an electric desk fan or range hood to blow air across the pans
Allow the pans to air-dry for 6 to 12 hours or until 100% depends on water content in alcohol may take up to 3 days to dry and free of any alcohol odor (mixing every few hours).
Pulse the dry sugar in a food processor for a fine texture, break up salt clusters with a fork, and store in airtight glass jars.
QWET-TO-FINISHED-PRODUCT POTENCY CALCULATION
(Excerpt from page 230 of The Botanical Bridge - Krazz Chef Culinary Textbook)
When Tincture Potency is Known:
Total THC Applied (mg) = tincture volume used (mL) x tincture potency (mg/mL) When Starting from Lab-Tested Flower:
Theoretical THC (mg) = W x 1000 x [(THCA x 0.877) + THC]
(Where W is flower weight in grams)
Finished Sugar or Salt Potency:
Finished Potency (mg/g) = total THC carried into batch ÷ actual final dry mass (g)
Serving Dose = finished potency (mg/g) x actual grams served Textbook Example:
A tincture at 12 mg/mL is used at 20 mL: 12 x 20 = 240 mg applied.
If the fully dried finished sugar weighs 480 g, potency is 240 ÷ 480 = 0.5 mg/g.
A 5 g serving contains 2.5 mg THC
