Dosage Information: Each serving contains approximately 10mg THC. This is a moderate dose. Adjust based on your personal tolerance and the potency of your infused syrup. PLEASE CONSUME RESPONSIBLY AND START LOW, GO SLOW. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Effects may take 30–90 minutes to onset. Wait at least 2 hours before considering additional consumption. Do not drive or operate machinery.
Decarboxylation Instructions: Preheat your oven to 240°F. Break up 3.5g of cannabis flower into small, even pieces and spread it across a parchment‑lined baking sheet. Bake for 40 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even activation. Let cool completely before using.
Infusion Instructions (Cannabis Simple Syrup): In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water. Place your decarbed cannabis in a jar or heat‑safe container and set it inside the saucepan to create a double‑boiler effect. Heat on the lowest setting for 2 hours, never boiling. Strain through cheesecloth into a heat‑safe container and chill. This infused syrup will be your infusion medium.
Ingredients: 1 cup fresh basil or mint leaves (loosely packed), 1 cup water, 1/2 cup infused simple syrup, 1/2 cup regular sugar, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, zest of 1 lemon, pinch of salt.
Instructions: Warm the water, sugar, lemon zest, and salt in a saucepan over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and add the herbs, pressing gently to submerge. Steep for 20 minutes without boiling. Strain out the herbs and stir in the infused simple syrup and lemon juice. Chill the mixture completely. Pour into a shallow pan and freeze for 30 minutes. Whisk to break up ice crystals. Repeat every 30 minutes for 2–3 hours until smooth and scoopable, or freeze until slushy and blend in a high‑speed blender before the final freeze.
Chef Tips: Use fresh herbs for maximum aroma. Never boil herbs—they turn bitter. A tablespoon of corn syrup can improve texture. Freeze your container before storing the sorbet to prevent melting on contact.
Serve immediately. Enjoy responsibly 🌿🍧
