Granulated Sugar

1 tablespoon alcohol-based
cannabis tincture

Measuring cups and poons

Mixing bowl

Baking sheet

In a mixing bowl, place one
cup of the granulated sugar and add in 1 tbsp of the tincture, mix everything
together well. The mix will be grainy but this is how it’s supposed to look.
Take the mix and spread it in one fine layer on a baking sheet. Place it in the
oven at 200° for half an hour. This is to ensure that the alcohol has been
completely evaporated from the sugar.

Remove the sugar from the
oven and allow the entire thing to cool off completely before continuing. The
sugar will be clumpy on the baking sheet but again, this happens and is normal.
Don’t worry, you didn’t mess it up. Put the clumped sugar in a sieve and press
it through with a metal spoon. Once all of the sugar is pushed through the
sieve, seal the sugar in an airtight container and store it.
