The Basics of Making THC Drinks

Before crafting recipes, you need to know how to infuse cannabis into a liquid. THC is fat-soluble, meaning it binds to fats and oils. That’s why cannabis-infused butter or oil is common in edibles. For drinks, the key is using infused ingredients.

Methods of Infusion:

There are different infusion methods that you can turn to;

  • Cannabis Tincture (Alcohol-Based); Fast-acting and versatile; just a few drops can be added to any beverage.
  • Cannabis Simple Syrup; A sweetener made with sugar, water, and decarboxylated cannabis. This one is great for cocktails and teas.
  • Cannabis Milk or Cream; Perfect for lattes, milkshakes, or hot cocoa.
  • Store-Bought THC Drops; This is by far the easiest option. It involves the use of pre-made emulsified THC liquid that mixes well with drinks.

Tip for Beginners; Always decarboxylate cannabis (heat it gently at 220–240°F for 30–40 minutes) before infusion to activate THC.
