I’m wanting to mess with a little bit of lecithin and edible oil for drinks and tinctures. I’ve poked around and didn’t see what I was looking for immediately. What ratio (depending on potency), temperature, would I be homogenizing the two?

I’ve always done 1:1 lecithin to cannabinoids by weight. I typically put it on warm in the crock pot overnight, stirring occasionally to get it to homogenize.

I had to bump it up a bit with THC Kool-Aid/Lean or use a touch of xanthan gum to get it to emulsify properly.

If I had a good homogenizer I could use a hot plate and achieve it in less time, ya? As far as drink goes, how much xanthan gum would you add? Or does that depend on dosing, as well?

Xanthan gum is a strong stabilizer. I would start with 0.1% of overall solution weight.

That would be the finished product weight correct?

Yeah, that’s what i meant.

Are you using liquid lecithin or the powder stuff?

Probably the liquid, as I would be using in a liquid product.
