Creating your own CBD-infused honey is a quick and easy way to add the wellness benefits of CBD to your daily routine. This infusion is incredibly versatile—try stirring a spoonful into hot tea with a slice of fresh ginger and lemon for an extra boost of soothing relief.

  • Cook Time: 1–3 hours

  • Yield: 1 cup

  • Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Raw, cloudy honey (The natural wax content helps bind the cannabinoids)

  • 1/8 oz (3.5g) CBD flower, ground and decarboxylated

Kitchen Tools

  • Small saucepan

  • Rubber spatula or spoon

  • Fine-mesh strainer

  • Cheesecloth and rubber bands

  • Latex-free gloves (optional)

Step-by-Step Directions

  1. Warm the Base: In your small saucepan, combine the honey and decarboxylated CBD flower over medium-low heat.

  2. Infuse: Allow the mixture to maintain a bare simmer for at least one hour. Stir occasionally to ensure the cannabinoids bond properly with the honey. (You may extend this up to 3 hours for a deeper infusion.)

  3. Prepare Filter: Secure a double-folded piece of cheesecloth over a large, clean bowl using rubber bands.

  4. Strain: Carefully pour the warm CBD honey through the cheesecloth filter.

  5. Extract: Once strained, remove the cheesecloth and squeeze it firmly to extract every last drop of your infused honey.

    • Pro-Tip: This can be a sticky process! If you are preparing this for others, use latex-free rubber gloves to keep things sanitary.

Cook’s Notes

  • Storage: Store your finished CBD honey in an airtight glass container in a cool, dark place. It will remain potent for 4–8 weeks.
