Here is the Canna Infused Honey with Alcohol method... Again the is to keep the nutrients within the honey if you wish. That's the only difference from the recipe without alcohol.
Ingredients:
1⁄4-1 ounce/7-28 g botanicals per cup/240 ml*
2-5 cups/475-1180 ml Everclear grain alcohol, 151 or 190 proof
Important: 2 cup minimum to 5 cup maximum ingredient capacity
How to:
1. Place the ingredients into your MagicalButter machine, and secure the head.
2. Press the Temperature button, and select 130°F/55°C; then press the 4 Hours/Tincture or 8 Hours button (8-hour tincture will have a stronger flavor and deeper intensity).
3. After the cycle is complete, unplug the unit at the outlet, and remove the head of the appliance. Put on your LoveGloveTM, and pour the pitcher contents slowly through your PurifyFilterTM into a glass container.
Chef’s Notes:
Do not add water.
For best results, do not pre-grind botanicals. Adjust botanical weight according to personal preference. Refrigerate or store your MagicalButter Tincture in a cool, dry place.
Properly stored, alcohol tinctures may keep indefinitely.
CAUTION: MATERIALS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE.
Could cause injury. Never use an open flame, natural gas or propane burner, or permit smoking around the cooking process.
1. Transfer your tincture into a non-stick saucepan.
2. Place the saucepan on an electrical or induction plate on low heat, and bring it to a slow boil. Continue simmering for at least 40-45 minutes. Continually stir oil from sides to the bottom of the saucepan. When the consistency reaches that of warm maple syrup, you have produced MBO.
3. Place your MBO back into the machine, add a minimum 2 cups of honey, set the machine at no heat and run it for 1 hour to blend everything in.
