Cannabis Infused Maple Syrup Recipe — 3 Easy Steps

This cannabis infused maple syrup recipe is one of the most versatile infusions you can make — pour it on waffles, pancakes, oatmeal, or use it in cocktails. The taste stays exactly like maple syrup, with just a hint of cannabis underneath. Using the Magical Butter Machine makes it incredibly simple, and the whole infusion takes just one hour. Here’s how to do it.

What You Need for Cannabis Infused Maple Syrup Recipe

This is a short ingredient list — just quality maple syrup and decarbed cannabis:

• 500ml (about 2 cups) pure maple syrup
• 7–14g decarboxylated cannabis (9g was used in this video)
• Magical Butter Machine (or a double boiler)
• Cheesecloth for straining
• Small funnel
• Love Glove or heat-resistant gloves
• Clean glass bottle or jar for storage

No lecithin is needed for this recipe. Maple syrup infuses well on its own at low temperatures. The key is to use decarbed cannabis — if you skip decarbing, your syrup won’t be active.

How to Infuse Maple Syrup Magical Butter Machine — 3 Steps

Learning to infuse maple syrup Magical Butter Machine style is faster and more consistent than using a stove. Here are the 3 steps:

1. Load and set your Magical Butter Machine. Pour 500ml of maple syrup into the MBM pitcher — check that it reaches the minimum fill line inside the machine. Add your decarbed cannabis. Set the temperature to 160°F (71°C) and run for 1 hour. You could run for 2 hours for a stronger infusion, but 1 hour is usually plenty and produces less chlorophyll flavor. If you don’t have an MBM, use a double boiler on medium-low heat for the same time — just make sure it never boils.
2. Strain through cheesecloth. Once the cycle completes, unplug the machine and let it cool slightly. Place cheesecloth over a funnel set into your original maple syrup bottle or a clean jar. Slowly pour the infused syrup through the cheesecloth to remove all plant matter. Squeeze the cheesecloth firmly to get every last drop of syrup. A second strain can help remove any remaining fine particles. This is your finished cannabis infused maple syrup.
3. Store and label. Pour your strained cannabis maple syrup into a clean glass bottle with a tight lid. Label it clearly — especially important if you also keep regular maple syrup around. Store in the fridge for up to 2–3 months.

Cannabis Maple Syrup Pancakes and Waffles — Serving Tips

Cannabis maple syrup pancakes and cannabis maple syrup waffles are the most obvious ways to enjoy your infusion, but there are plenty of other options:

• Drizzle on pancakes or waffles — the classic. Add cannabutter to the batter for an even stronger effect.
• Mix into oatmeal — a great breakfast infusion that hits gradually.
• Stir into coffee or tea — the sweetness blends perfectly with hot drinks.
• Add to cocktails or mocktails — a teaspoon in a sour or whiskey cocktail adds a subtle cannabis note.
• Drizzle on ice cream — pairs especially well with vanilla or pecan flavors.

Cannabis Infused Maple Syrup Dosage Guide

Calculating cannabis infused maple syrup dosage is tricky because it depends on the potency of your cannabis and how efficient the infusion was. Some general guidelines:

• This recipe used 9g of decarbed cannabis in 500ml of syrup, making it a moderate-strength batch.
• Start with 1–2 tablespoons (15–30ml) on your pancakes or waffles and wait 90 minutes before having more.
• Remember that edibles hit differently than smoking — onset can take 30 minutes to 2 hours.
• You can increase potency by using 14g of cannabis instead of 9g, or by reducing the syrup volume.
• For extra strength, combine your cannabis maple syrup waffles or cannabis maple syrup pancakes with cannabutter in the recipe itself.
