8 Ways To Use THC-Infused Honey

If you like something a bit sweet and a simple way to infuse your favorite foods and beverages, THC-infused honey may be right for you. The possibilities include elevated breakfasts, infused teas, homemade edibles, and so much more. Keep reading to discover some easy ways to incorporate THC-infused honey into your daily routine and special occasions alike.

Enjoy your honey straight from the spoon

If you love honey all on its own, try a bit of the THC-infused variety straight from the spoon. That’s the easiest way to enjoy THC-infused honey; you’ll get an instant burst of sweetness and, within a couple hours after that, you may find yourself at new destinations.

Drizzle it on toast

Add a bit of indulgence to your morning toast with a drizzle of THC-infused honey. You’ll start your day on a bright note and, later on, you may feel uplifted, inspired, or simply at ease.

Stir it into your breakfast bowl

Whether you’re a smoothie, açaí, or granola bowl person, a dash of sugar is almost always on the ingredient list. Use THC-infused honey instead to complete your recipe while adding a bit of potency to your morning routine.

Sweeten your smoothie

THC-infused honey does more than round out your smoothie’s flavor palette. The psychoactive effects of THC may also sweeten your day for hours thereafter.

Dress your salads

Caesar dressing or balsamic glaze are salad classics. The new spin, though, is adding a touch of comfort to your greens with the finger-licking goodness of THC-infused honey.

Liven up chicken or seitan wings

Honey hot wings get even bolder when there’s THC in the mix. Drizzle your THC-infused honey onto your favorite takeout order, or cook up your own wings and experience the infused difference.

Cook up a tasty homemade sauce

Even the tangiest sauce recipes, from ranch to BBQ, typically call for a sweetener. THC-infused honey gets the job done with a side of transcendence.

Make your own homemade edibles

Honey is one of the most popular ingredients for THC infusion when making your own edibles, but infusing honey yourself adds extra steps in the process. When your honey is already THC-infused, you can skip this time-consuming process. Instead, measure out the appropriate dose of THC-infused honey, use it in your recipe, and voila — homemade edibles made easy.

What is the best THC-infused honey in New York?

Chef for Higher’s THC-infused honey is the best you can find at a licensed New York dispensary. With 10mg THC per one-teaspoon serving, a little goes a long way. Each bottle of this natural wildflower honey from the Adirondacks contains 240 mg THC (24 one-teaspoon servings) in total.

With Chef for Higher’s honey, half a teaspoon — often enough for a morning tea — is 5 mg THC, a reliable starter dose. A quarter-teaspoon, small enough to emphasize a drink’s natural sweetness without going overboard, is a 2.5 mg THC microdose. Whether you keep your dosing smaller or go for the bolder 10 mg THC one-teaspoon dose, you may feel a balance of relaxation and energy. This balance is perfect for busy days, social events, and creative sessions alike.

How to make your own THC-infused honey

To infuse THC into honey yourself, you’ll need 2.5 g of THC flower, half a cup of honey, and some basic kitchen equipment. Preheat your oven to 230°F, then tear your THC flower up and spread it across a brownie pan lined with parchment paper. Create a loose foil tent over the flower, then put the pan in the oven. Ensure the temperature remains between 220°F and 240°F to preserve THC content.

Wait 15 minutes or until your flower has turned a rust-like brown in color. Rotate the tray 180 degrees and, for the next 15 minutes, check it every five minutes.

After these 15 minutes pass, remove the tray and let it cool, then heat your honey to between 95°F and 100°F. Then, stir your flower into the honey. Leave this mix loosely covered overnight somewhere warm and dry.

The next day, reheat your honey to 95°F. Pour it through a mesh kitchen strainer into a sealable jar. Once cool, cover the jar and store it somewhere warm and dry.

Why choose THC-infused honey?

THC-infused honey is popular due to its versatility, ease of consumption, and long-lasting effects.

Versatility: Listed above are eight ways to use THC-infused honey. That makes it highly versatile when compared to other cannabis products like THC gummies or cannabis concentrates.

Ease of consumption: THC-infused honey doesn’t require any special accessories. Stir it into a beverage, drizzle it onto salad, or enjoy it right from the spoon.

Long-lasting effects: Since THC-infused honey passes through your digestive system, it’s considered a cannabis edible. That means that, like other edibles, its effects may last four to eight hours or more, which is longer than most other cannabis consumption methods.

How long does THC-infused honey last?

It’s widely agreed upon that natural honey never expires. With THC-infused honey, the honey itself may last forever, but the THC will degrade over time.

This is why you may fare best consuming all your THC-infused honey within six months to two years, the timeframe often said to be THC gummies’ shelf life. It’s a reasonable assumption that, at some point within this range, your honey’s THC will lose its potency. That said, keeping your honey in a cool, dry, dark environment, such as your fridge, may extend the duration over which it remains potent.

How long does it take to feel the effects of THC-infused honey?

It typically takes 30 minutes to two hours to feel the effects of THC-infused honey. This timeframe is the usual onset time for cannabis edibles, as we detail in our guide to THC edible doses.

THC-infused honey consumption tips

When it comes to THC-infused honey, pacing yourself, choosing a comfortable environment, and asking for help may make for smooth sailing.

Start low and go slow. With a smaller initial dose of THC, you’re far less likely to consume so much that you feel overwhelmed. If you don’t feel as strong of sensations as you’d like after the onset time passes, you can always consume more.

Stay somewhere cozy. A familiar, low-anxiety environment is always beneficial to the cannabis experience, and it’s especially important if you’re new or sensitive to THC. Carve out ample time at home after consuming your THC-infused honey, or if that’s not possible, have a loved one around for support.

Ask for advice. Although no two people have quite the same experience with any cannabis product, budtenders at licensed dispensaries can best predict how you might fare. At The Travel Agency, our budtenders talk to all kinds of different people every day and use what they hear, as well as their own experiences, to shape the advice they give.
