To start off we need to infuse our alcohol with our buds to get our base #spirit infusion
You can go the old route and just stuff some vodka with a few grams of herb and let it steep for a few weeks but I have found this always creates a weird almost bong water taste to the #alcohol and so I scoured the web and found an alternative.
How to make a base alcohol-marijuana infusion, almost instantly.
You will need:
- weed
- a bottle of alcohol, obviously. . . (A good vodka or gin is recommended. 750ml for every 500ml you plan to make)
Depending on the strength of your bud, 3.5g - 5g should be enough to create a good infusion that is not to overpowering of either ingredient.
Equipment:
- Whipped cream whipper
- 2 nitrous oxide cannisters
- A double boiler (Or two different sized pots)
- thermometer,
- a strainer.
How to:
- Add 350ml of the alcohol and all the weed to the whipped cream whipper and charge both nitrous cans.
- Let the can sit for awhile.
- Over the strainer, empty it all into the top pot on your double boiler.
- Fill the bottom of the double boiler with water and get the temp up to a rapid boil.
- Place the top pot over it and simmer the infusion for about 45 minutes adding fresh alcohol to keep the level the same.
Let the concoction rest and finally strain back into the vodka bottle. You should be left with about 500ml give or take.
Heating the infusion decarboxylated the weed and turns all the THCA into THC so you get high.

Why not take some nitrous while you're at it?
