Calculating Potency

Before we begin, it is very important to know the proper math to do when calculating how much RSO/distillate you want to infuse your recipe with. Typically, RSO/Distillate syringes contain 1g of concentrate. To calculate the potency of the entire 1g syringe, you want to multiply the potency percentage (in decimal form) by 1000mg. So, for example, a concentrate that tests at 93% will have around 930mg of THC in the entire syringe because 1000mg x 0.93 = 930mg.

Start by putting a small saucepan over medium heat. Add in 4 tbsp. butter. Once the butter begins to melt, add in your desired amount of RSO/distillate. Once the butter and RSO/distillate are fully combined, add in your ¼ cup red wine vinegar, 2 tbsp. honey, 4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce, 3 sprigs of rosemary, 3 crushed garlic cloves, and orange peel. Continue cooking until the mixture begins to bubble and thicken, this will be about 5 minutes.

• 1/4 Cup Maple Syrup
• 1/2 Cup Apple Juice

• 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper

Once the RSO/distillate and butter are fully combined, add in the apple juice, bourbon, maple syrup, and ground black pepper. Turn the heat up to medium-high and then heat the mixture until boiling. Once the mixture begins to boil, reduce back down to medium heat. Cook for 24-28 minutes or until the mixture is reduced by half. Be sure to keep an eye on our mixture throughout the process. The mixture is done when it has reached a thin glaze consistency. Don’t worry, it will thicken as it cools.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 Cups Dark Maple Syrup
• 2 Tablespoons Dijon Mustard
• 2 Tablespoons Prepared Horseradish, Drained
• 1 Tablespoon Ancho Chile Powder
• 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
• 2 Teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
• Freshly Ground Pepper
• 2 1/2 Tablespoons Coconut Oil
• 1 RSO/Distillate Syringe

Directions

To begin, melt your 2 1/2 tablespoons of coconut oil. Since the rest of this recipe does not require heat to combine, you can simply melt the coconut oil in the microwave. Once the coconut oil is melted, add in your desired amount of RSO/distillate and stir until the two ingredients are completely combined. Now, take 1 1/2 cups dark maple syrup and combine it with your cannabis-infused coconut oil, whisking until homogenous. Once the mixture is complete, add in the horseradish, chile powder, salt, and pepper and then whisk to combine. After all of the ingredients have been combined, let the glaze sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. The glaze can then be used or stored (covered) for up to 2 days.
