420 Canna Syrup Recipe: 4-Ingredient THC Lean at Home

Step 3 — Add Citric Acid and Strain

After 15–20 minutes of simmering for this 420 canna syrup recipe:

1. Add ¼ tsp citric acid. Stir in. This extends shelf life from 4–5 weeks to potentially 3–6 months when refrigerated. Citric acid also brightens the flavor slightly.
2. Remove from heat. Let cool for a few minutes.
3. Set a cheesecloth over a dark glass bottle, secured with clamps or held in place. Pour or ladle the hot syrup through the cheesecloth to strain out all plant material.
4. Squeeze the cheesecloth to extract every drop — the remaining pulp can be reused in cookies or other edibles.
5. Seal the bottle and let cool completely before refrigerating.

THC Lean Simple Syrup Recipe: Dosing and Storage

For this THC lean simple syrup recipe using 5g of decarbed cannabis at approximately 18% THC:

• Total batch ≈ 1130 mg THC
• Per tablespoon ≈ 17–18 mg THC (conservative estimate)
• Starting dose: ½ tablespoon (~8–9 mg THC) for new users. Wait 90 minutes before taking more.

Use a free online THC glycerin calculator (search “glycerin tincture calculator”) to estimate the potency of your specific batch based on your cannabis’s THC percentage and amount used. This 420 syrup homemade infused batch stores in the fridge for up to 6 months with citric acid, or 4–5 weeks without it. Use a dark glass bottle — UV light degrades THC over time.

Infused Lean Sizzurp DIY: Flavor Variations

The infused lean sizzurp DIY base is neutral in flavor (sugar + cannabis). To create flavored versions:

• Fruit syrup — Add a handful of blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries to the pot while simmering. Muddle them first for more flavor extraction. Strain with the cheesecloth as normal.
• Citrus syrup — Add lemon or orange peel strips during the simmer phase. Remove before bottling.
• Herbal syrup — Add fresh or dried lavender, mint, or rosemary to the simmering base for an aromatic 420 canna syrup recipe variation.
• LorAnn extracts — Add a few drops of any LorAnn flavoring at the end (off heat) before straining for intense concentrated flavor without cooking time.
