Why Make Your Own?  

● You know exactly what you’re getting! 
● You can add it to other things like juice or gummy candies 
● It’s less expensive than buying it 

 
What You Need 
● 14 grams of cannabis flower* 
● ½ cup clear alcohol, the higher the “proof” the better* 
● Mason jar 
● Oven or ​Nova Decarb Machine 
● Grinder/scissors 
● Cheesecloth and strainer

● *note - if you want to make more, just scale your ingredients ​(e.g. for 1 cup of 
alcohol, use 28g of flower. If you want a more potent infusion, use less alcohol 
and more cannabis. Just make sure the alcohol completely covers the cannabis.) 
● **note - If you live in Ontario and have a medical cannabis prescription, you can 
request “overproof alcohol” from the LCBO. ​Here’s how. 

Simple Steps  
1. Decarb your cannabis by either putting it in the Nova and pushing the button or  
a. Put your cannabis flower in a mason jar and cover the lid with foil 
b. Place in a preheated oven at 240 degrees F for 1 hour 
c. Let it cool 
2. Grind your cannabis (to increase surface area) 
3. Place the ground flower back into your mason jar with ½ cup alcohol. 
4. Shake well. 
5. Leave it in your cupboard for 1 week to 1 year. Check for potency by adding a 
small amount to some juice (or under your tongue if you can handle it) and see 
how you feel. 
6. When it’s ready, line a strainer with cheesecloth and rest it on a measuring cup or 
large bowl. Pour your cannabis tincture into the strainer and then squeeze the sh*t 
out of it. (Save the leftover cannabis and infuse it into some chai for “​High Chai​”.) 
7. Store the tincture in a mason jar in the fridge or a dark cupboard. 
8. Use it as is or add it to juice or make some ​gummy candies.
