*Did You Know? Mango is high in the terpene Myrcene, which gives mangoes their unique smell and also is thought by many to increase the potency and duration of your high.*

Cannabis-Infused Honey

Ingredients:

½ ounce cannabis flower

2 cups honey (local if possible!)

1 tablespoon sunflower lecithin

10” x 10” cheesecloth

Colander or strainer

Slow cooker

Pre-heat oven to 225 degrees F. Grind your cannabis flower, place it in a small oven-proof dish and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Activate your cannabis in a heated oven for one hour. Remove and allow to cool completely before uncovering. Combine cannabis, honey and lecithin in the slow cooker, and set to low. Cook honey in slow cooker for six to eight hours, thoroughly stirring every hour. Agitation is the most important step in this process.

When finished, place the colander inside a large bowl to collect the finished product. Place the cheesecloth inside the colander and pour the honey mixture through. Most of the honey will filter through by itself, but at the end you can gather the ends of the cheesecloth and use a pair of tongs or an oven safe glove to squeeze out any remaining honey. Store in a cool dark location, and stir before use.

*For a more potent honey, add 3 to 5 grams of kief or hash to your flower before the activation process.*
