🍯 "I also made dandelion cannabis honey... So divine in a cup o tea." — This recipe is pure gold.

🌼 Ingredients

Ingredient	Amount
Dandelion petals (yellow only, green parts removed)

10 cups Cannabis (decarboxylated) 4 cups Honeycomb (approx. 4×2 inch piece) 1/3 honeycomb Sugar 1 cup Water 1/2 cup Vanilla bean pods (or 4 caps vanilla extract) 4 Lemon (sliced) 1 Small oranges (sliced) 2

📝 Instructions

Step 1 – Prepare the Ingredients

Decarboxylate the cannabis at 240°F (115°C) on a baking sheet for 30-40 minutes. This activates the THC and CBD. Separate dandelion petals from green sepals (the green base is bitter — use only yellow petals). Slice the lemon and oranges into thin rounds.

Step 2 – Combine and Bring to a Boil

In a large pot, combine all ingredients: dandelion petals, decarbed cannabis, honeycomb, sugar, water, vanilla pods, lemon slices, and orange slices.

Step 3 – Bring to a Boil

Place the pot over medium-high heat and bring everything to a boil.

Step 4 – Remove from Heat and Steep

Remove from heat immediately. Cover and let steep for 8 hours (overnight works perfectly). This allows the dandelion, cannabis, and citrus flavors to infuse into the honey base.

Step 5 – Drain and Strain

After 8 hours, pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into another pot or large bowl. Squeeze the solids gently to extract all liquid. Discard the spent dandelion petals, cannabis, and citrus slices.

Step 6 – Return to Pot and Boil Again

Return the strained liquid to the pot. Bring to a boil again.

Step 7 – Simmer for 90 Minutes

Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 90 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching. The mixture will reduce and thicken into a honey-like consistency.

Step 8 – Bottle and Store

Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Pour into sterilized glass jars. Seal tightly. Store in a cool, dark place or refrigerate.

✅ First batch tip: The honey will thicken further as it cools. If it's too thick, stir in a little warm water. If too thin, simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes.

🌼 Harvesting Dandelions for Honey

• Pick on a dry, sunny morning after the dew has dried.
• Only use the yellow petals — remove all green sepals (the green base). Green parts add bitterness.
• 10 cups of petals is about 5-6 cups of whole dandelion heads (each head yields about 2 tablespoons of petals).
• Avoid roadsides and sprayed areas — only harvest from clean, chemical-free locations.
• Use flowers immediately for the best flavor.

💡 Patience required: Separating petals from green sepals takes about an hour for 10 cups. Put on music or a podcast — it's meditative work!

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Decarboxylation activates the THC and CBD, making them bioavailable. Without this step, the cannabis will not produce the desired effects. Decarb at 240°F (115°C) for 30-40 minutes.

The maker describes it as "divine" — potency depends on the strength of your cannabis. With 4 cups of cannabis to 10 cups dandelion, it's quite potent. Start with 1 teaspoon and wait 1-2 hours to assess effects.

Absolutely! Simply omit the cannabis for a delicious dandelion honey. The floral, honeycomb-infused result is still divine and perfect for everyday use.

Stored in sterilized jars in the refrigerator, dandelion cannabis honey lasts 6-12 months. The sugar and honey act as natural preservatives. For long-term storage, you can also freeze it.

You can substitute with 1 cup of additional honey. However, real honeycomb adds authentic flavor and texture. Find it at farmers markets, specialty stores, or online.
