Cannabis Syrup for Sleep: The Ultimate Guide
Ingredients
- High-quality cannabis flowers or trim
- Alcohol (vodka or rum is commonly used)
- Sugar (white, brown, or honey)
- Water
- Flavorings (optional, such as vanilla extract or cinnamon)
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Infuse the Cannabis: Begin by grinding your cannabis flowers or trim. Combine the ground cannabis with alcohol in a sealed container and let it sit for a minimum of 2 weeks.
2. Strain the Infused Alcohol: After the infusion period, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove the plant material.
3. Boil the Syrup: In a saucepan, combine the strained alcohol, sugar, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer until the sugar is completely dissolved.

4. Decarb the Cannabis: While the syrup is simmering, decarb the cannabis by heating it in the oven at 220°F for 40 minutes.
5. Add the Decarbed Cannabis: Once the syrup has reached the desired consistency, remove it from heat and stir in the decarbed cannabis.
6. Flavor and Cool: Add any desired flavorings and let the syrup cool to room temperature before storing it in an airtight container.
Storage
Store your cannabis syrup in a cool, dark place. It will keep for several months.
