Cannabis Sugar

Cannabis sugar is made by infusing granulated sugar with cannabis tincture and evaporating the alcohol. The result is a dry, precisely measurable infused ingredient that substitutes 1:1 for regular sugar in any baking recipe.

What You Need

• Granulated white sugar — 1 cup
• Cannabis tincture — enough to dampen the sugar (approximately 2–4 tablespoons)
• Baking sheet with parchment paper
• Oven set to 200°F (93°C)
• Airtight storage container

Method

1. 01

   Spread sugar on a parchment-lined baking sheet

   Create an even layer about 1/4 inch thick.

2. 02

   Drizzle tincture evenly over the sugar

   Pour slowly in a back-and-forth pattern. Use a fork to toss and mix until the sugar is uniformly dampened. It should look like wet sand.

3. 03

   Bake at 200°F until dry

   This typically takes 25–40 minutes. Stir every 10 minutes to break up clumps and promote even evaporation. The sugar is done when it's completely dry and crumbly.

4. 04

   Break up any remaining clumps

   Let cool, then use a fork or your hands to break the sugar back into granules. It should look and feel like regular sugar with a slight golden tint.

5. 05

   Store in an airtight container

   Label with date and estimated potency per tablespoon. Keeps indefinitely at room temperature.

Dosage Calculations

If you know your tincture's potency, calculating cannabis sugar dosage is straightforward:

Example: If your tincture is 10 mg/ml THC and you use 30 ml (2 tablespoons) on 1 cup of sugar (48 teaspoons), each teaspoon of finished sugar contains ~6.25 mg THC. Use our dosage calculator to determine your tincture's potency first.

Uses

• Substitute 1:1 for sugar in brownie or cookie recipes
• Stir into coffee or tea for a measured dose
• Sprinkle on cereal, oatmeal, or fruit
• Use in homemade drink mixes
