How to Make THC Simple Syrup without Distillate

If you're looking for a simple and effective way to infuse your drinks with THC, this recipe for THC Simple Syrup is a great option. Unlike other methods that rely on distillates, this recipe uses a Green Dragon Tincture and Cannasugar to create a flavorful and potent syrup that you can add to any beverage.

Here's how to make THC Simple Syrup without using distillates:

Step 1: Make a Green Dragon Tincture

To make a Green Dragon Tincture, you'll need high-proof alcohol and cannabis buds. Start by decarboxylating the buds in the oven to activate the THC. Then, add the decarboxylated buds to a jar and cover them with high-proof alcohol. Simmer the mixture on low heat for a few hours until the alcohol has turned green and absorbed the THC from the buds. You can use any high-proof alcohol, but Everclear is a popular choice.

Step 2: Evaporate the Green Dragon Tincture into Cannasugar

To make Cannasugar, you'll need to evaporate the Green Dragon Tincture into granulated sugar. Start by pouring the tincture into a large saucepan and adding the granulated sugar. Heat the mixture on low heat and stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has thickened into a syrup-like consistency. This can take up to two hours, with stirring every 20 minutes on 200F.

Step 3: Dissolve the Cannasugar into Water to Create THC Simple Syrup

To create the THC Simple Syrup, dissolve the Cannasugar into water in a pot. Use a 2:1 ratio of sugar to water for a thinner syrup, or increase the sugar to water ratio if you want a thicker syrup. Heat the mixture on low heat and stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has thickened into a syrup-like consistency. This should take under 5 minutes. Be careful not to overheat the mixture or the syrup may crystallize once it's cool.

That's it! With these three simple steps, you can create a flavorful and potent THC Simple Syrup without using distillates. While this method may take more time and effort than other infusion methods, it's worth it for the delicious flavor and potent effects. Note that the potency of the syrup may vary depending on the strength of your Green Dragon Tincture and Cannasugar batches.
