How do I infuse CBD into sugar

One might also ask why sugar?

I’ve just done a small scale (1gm ~70% CBD into ~7 teaspons table sugar) “infusion”, and I must say I like the look. It’s not finished evaporating yet, but looks very much like something the hipsters might add to their coffee.

I tried CBD and THC predominant extracts, and used Isopropanol as my 'liquidizer".

I recommend bringing the decarboxylated extract up in ~4 volumes alcohol (EtOH would be best, but Iso will work), and then mixing with the sugar.

I tried extract + sugar + Iso in a 4oz jar, then blending, and don’t recommend that route.

  1. requires more solvent, and hence longer evap time
  2. results in a very fine powdered sugar.

I’ll get pictures up once they’ve both finished drying.

If you use maltodextrin rather than table sugar, you can use MCT or olive oil as a liquidizer, and skip the evaporation step.
