Ingredients · 10 tablespoon (1/2 oz)s · 50 mg total
70 g (about 2½ in / 2½ oz) fresh ginger, peeled and coarsely grated (about ¼ packed cup)150 g (¾ cup) granulated sugar180 ml (¾ cup) water2 wide strips lime zest, no white pithPinch of fine salt2.5 ml cannabis tincture at 20 mg THC per ml = 50 mg THC total (scale to whatever your tincture's label says; the goal is 50 mg, not a fixed volume)Cool water, for topping up to volume
Stoney says: start low, go slow — the forest isn't going anywhere. Wait 90 minutes before seconds.
Steps
- Grate the ginger on the large holes of a box grater and tip it into a small saucepan with the sugar, water, lime zest and salt.
- Set over medium-high heat and stir until the sugar has completely dissolved and the syrup just reaches a boil.
- Pull the pan off the heat straight away and let it sit, uncovered, until it is cool to the touch — about 1 hour. Do not rush this; warm syrup is the enemy of an accurate dose.
- Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a measuring jug, pressing hard on the ginger and zest to squeeze out every drop. Discard the solids.
- Check the volume. You want exactly 240 ml. If you're short, top up with cool water; if you're over, pour the surplus into a separate jar and keep it plain and undosed.
- With the syrup fully cool, measure your 50 mg of tincture and stir it into the 240 ml for a full minute, scraping around the sides so it is evenly distributed. Pour into a clean bottle or jar and shake well before every use.
- To serve, jigger exactly 1 tablespoon per glass — over ice with fresh lime juice and soda water makes a ginger-lime fizz. Dose one glass at a time; never dose a shared pitcher, and never free-pour. Start low, go slow: give a first glass plenty of time before you think about a second.
- Label the bottle: Ginger-Lime Sipping Syrup · 50 mg THC total · 5 mg per tablespoon · 10 tablespoons · made [date] · 21+ only.
