No refined sugar here folks! These are super good for you and tasty!

I won’t try to reinvent the wheel here. You can make cannabis honey using a recipe from Magical Butter machine recipe book or hit up Corinne Tobias’ Wake and Bake site. Corinne has a method where you won’t end up with a ton of it.
Just make certain to use a high quality local organic honey when you make it. Local honey has beneficial nutrients specific to your area!
Cannabis honey is awesome to keep around. You can use cannabis honey to sweeten your tea, drizzle on cornbread, add to your salad dressing…anything you would use honey in.
Directions:
½ pound (two sticks) of butter at room temperature
2 tablespoons of cannabis infused honey
½ teaspoon of cinnamon
½ teaspoon of vanilla extract
In a mixing bowl, beat the butter until smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl a couple of times to ensure there are no lumps. Add the infused honey, the cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
Remove butter from the bowl and spoon onto parchment paper. Roll it into a log and refrigerate for 2 hours.
You can also use a silicone butter mold.
