Weed Recipe 101: Lollipops

Cannabis-infused lollipops are a delicious and easy way to enjoy the benefits of cannabis. If you’ve been wondering how to make them, there’s no need to be nervous – it’s easy!

There’s no need to be intimidated by making your own edibles at home. In fact, it can be more cost-effective and allow you to customize the flavors, sugar content, and THC potency to your liking.

What you’ll need:

To make your own cannabis lollipops, you’ll need a thermometer, candy molds, a pastry brush, lollipop sticks, food coloring, and flavoring.

A thermometer is essential for making this recipe, or any hard candy, successfully. There are a few different types of thermometers to choose from, including glass, digital, and glass/metal hybrid.

Glass thermometers are the recommended choice for accurate temperature readings.

Deep fry and candy thermometers made of glass are ideal for making candy. They hook onto the side of any pot to monitor the temperature, so you can be sure your candy turns out perfectly.

When cooking with a flat-sided pot, be sure to place the tip of the thermometer into the mixture, being careful not to let it touch the bottom of the pot. Thermometers are delicate and can break easily.

Remember to allow your glass thermometers to cool fully before you immerse them in water. I have broken my fair share by learning the hard way, so trust me on this one.

Metal and glass thermometers are elegant and persuasive. They are accurate and reliable, and they look great in any setting.

Candy thermometers made of metal and glass are more durable than other options. They can be hooked onto the side of a pot, with the tip immersed in the cooking liquid. This makes them more convenient and accurate to use.

This candy thermometer is safe and easy to use, with clearly marked temperature stages for making candy.

Digital thermometers are an accurate and convenient way to take your temperature. They are easy to use and can be a more reliable option than traditional mercury thermometers.

Digital thermometers with removable temperature probes are a more elegant and persuasive option than traditional thermometers. They are inexpensive and very versatile in the kitchen. The probe is attached by a heat-proof wire. Holding the probe in the mixture, but not touching the bottom, will give the most accurate temperature reading.

Using a pastry brush, you can achieve a professional finish on your desserts.

A pastry brush is an essential tool for cooking sugar. They are available for a few dollars in any store that sells kitchen utensils. Pastry brushes are great for applying bbq sauce when grilling.

These colorful lollipop sticks are perfect for brightening up any party or event! They add a fun and festive touch, and they’re also great for crafts and DIY projects.

Lollipop sticks can be found in the candy-making department of most craft stores. Many dollar stores and Walmart now carry a wide variety of candy-making supplies.

Add a touch of flavor to your dish with our selection of flavoring additives. Choose from a variety of options to suit your taste.

If you want to elevate your cannabis-infused edibles, try adding a touch of mint or citrus flavor. You can find these flavorings at any grocery store or baking supply center.

When adding flavouring to the hot sugar mixture, be cautious. Most flavourings will create a burst of hot steam when added.

Adding a touch of food colouring is a great way to give your dish that extra bit of visual appeal.

Gel food coloring provides a wider range of colors than the traditional four-pack of squeeze bottles, making it a more elegant and persuasive option for your culinary needs.

It’s best to use gel food coloring and have a few butter knives on hand. Dip the knives into the food coloring and then swirl them through the hot candy mixture. Use a new knife each time you want to add color.

How to make weed-infused lollipops

To avoid any mishaps, make sure to have all the ingredients and tools ready before you start cooking sugar to make candy. Oven mitts will come in handy to protect your hands from the hot, sticky sugar.

For an elegant and persuasive cannabis-infused treat, mix together 1-3 teaspoons of cannabis butter or oil with 1 cup of sugar, ¼ cup of water, and ½ cup of light corn syrup. Add 1½ teaspoons of flavouring and 2-3 drops of food colouring (optional) to taste. Enjoy!

This recipe is perfect for large gatherings, as it yields up to 16 servings. It’s also quick and easy to prepare, with only 15 minutes of prep time followed by 30 minutes of cooking. In total, it’ll take you just 45 minutes from start to finish.

If you’re looking for elegant, moldable treats, you’ll get approximately eight lollipops.However, if you want freeform lollipops, you’ll get up to 16, as they’ll be thinner and spread out more.

It is important to heat the mixture to 300°F when making weed lollipops or any other hard candy. This is the “hard crack” stage, which ensures that the candy will set properly. It will take about ten minutes to reach this temperature.

Next, it’s time for the weed! Add the cannabis oil, and flavouring if you’re using it, stirring quickly to combine. (Remember, keep your face away from the pot when adding the flavouring as it may create a burst of hot steam). Place the pot on a heat-proof mat. If you are using gel food colouring dip a toothpick into the colour and swirl it through the hot liquid candy. For liquid colouring add a few drops and stir to distribute the colour. Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves. Once the sugar is dissolved, do not stir the mixture any further. Using a wet pastry brush wipe down the inside of the pot to remove all traces of sugar. Clip a thermometer to the edge of the pot or insert the probe into the mixture. Bring the mixture to a boil.Watch the temperature closely, we want to remove the pot from heat immediately when it hits 300 degrees Fahrenheit. To make weed lollipops, first spray a silicone mold with non-stick spray and wipe with a paper towel to remove most of the surface oil. Add the lollipop sticks and set them aside.

Be sure to store your weed candy in a dry location to keep it from getting sticky. And enjoy yourself! This is cannabis, so don’t be afraid to experiment and tell us about your results in the comments.
