WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS RECIPE
Cannabis maple syrup is a delicious infusion that is very versatile and can be used for cooking and baking
Naturally sweetened — maple syrup is a wonderful natural sweetener that does not contain any artificial ingredients.
Easy to make, mess-free, and odour-free!
BEFORE WE GET STARTED
Make sure you have your dried flower weighed out. Remember to record the percentage of THC and/or CBD in the dried flower as you will need it to calculate the potency of your final infusion. I like to use online dosage calculators like this one from Emily Kyle. Feel free to also use more or less dried flower than what I’ve suggested in the recipe below. It really all depends on how potent you want your infusion to be. As a reminder, it’s always best to start low and go slow.
Another way that I use to determine the % of THC and/or CBD in my final product is that I use the tCheck potency tester device. This device can provide an approximate potency test for oils, dried flower, and glycerins. If you use my promo code “CANNABINISTA” you can get $25 off your purchase!
OTHER CANNABIS INFUSION RECIPES
INGREDIENTS (+sUBSTITUTIONS)
Maple Syrup: This recipe will work for honey, agave syrup, or any other liquid non-fat sweetener that you want to infuse.
Coconut Oil: The key to making cannabis maple syrup is to add a little bit of coconut oil to the infusion. Now you might be thinking this is a bit weird, but trust me, you won’t even taste or notice the coconut oil. This fatty ingredient is very popular amongst cannabis enthusiasts because it’s high in fat which compliments cannabinoid absorption. The ratio that I used was 10% coconut oil vs. 90% maple syrup.
Dried Cannabis Flower: You can infuse any form of cannabis into maple syrup — concentrates or flower, both work! It ultimately depends on what you want to use the olive oil for. Concentrates will generally be higher in terpene and cannabinoid percentage so you may want to keep that in mind when calculating the potency of your oil.
TIPS & TRICKS FOR SUCCESS
Investing in a cannabis decarbing and infusing machine was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! I have both the LEVO II and the Ardent Fx and both are great options for decarbing and infusing cannabis. I will be writing a review to compare the two in a detailed blog post soon — so stay tuned if you’re on the fence about both! Essentially both of these devices are simpler and newer ways to decarb and infuse cannabis and turn them into lovely oils, butters, and much more. They’re alot easier and cleaner to use than the traditional oven or stovetop or crockpot methods, which I find can leave a lingering odour in your home for many days.

I recommend investing in the tCheck Cannabis Potency Tester so that you can test the potency of your infusions. Whenever I make cannabis infusions, I will always use online dosage calculators to determine the approximate range of cannabinoids in my infusion and I will use my tCheck to physically test the oil just so that I have a second point of reference.

Decarboxylation and storage of your cannabis infusion are two very important components of the entire infusion process. Read this post on why you need to decarboxylate and what are the best ways to store your cannabis infusions.
