Infusions: the eight bases

Every recipe on this site starts from one of these eight infusions. Each is deliberately mild so a tablespoon or teaspoon is a dose you can divide. The potency shown is a theoretical maximum: grams × THCA % × 0.877, spread over the volume you make.

Low-dose cannabutter

The base for most recipes here. One gram of flower per cup of butter lands near 10 mg THC per tablespoon (theoretical), so six tablespoons in a batch of twelve gives about 5 mg each.

Infused coconut oil

Same maths as cannabutter, dairy-free, and it sets solid so you can portion it by the gram. Used in the gummies, chocolate bark and peanut butter cups.

10 mg / tablespoonInfusions

Infused olive oil

For pesto, dressings, crackers and roasting. Never for frying: THC degrades at high heat and the flavour turns bitter.

2.5 mg / teaspoonInfusions

Infused honey

The gentlest infusion here and the base for the drinks: about 2.5 mg per teaspoon (theoretical), the amount Health Canada suggests new users start at or below.

Alcohol tincture

Dropper-dosed and easy to measure: about 2.3 mg per millilitre (theoretical). Made cold, so nothing is lost to heat. The base for cannabis sugar.

Infused ghee

Clarified butter takes the infusion well, keeps longer than cannabutter and suits Indian and Middle Eastern cooking.

Infused cream

A small, perishable infusion for drinks. Half a gram per cup gives tablespoon doses near 5 mg (theoretical). Use within four days.
