What You’ll Need

Note: The recipe card below contains exact ingredient amounts and printable instructions.

Step-by-Step Process

• Step 1 – Spread the salt in a shallow glass baking dish or pan.
• Step 2 – Pour the alcohol-based cannabis tincture evenly over the salt.
• Step 3 – Stir thoroughly with a spatula so every grain is coated; the mixture will look like wet sand.
• Step 4 – Cover the dish with a breathable fabric (cheesecloth or similar) and place it in a safe, well-ventilated area to dry.
• Step 5 – Allow the salt to air dry for 48–72 hours, stirring every few hours to prevent clumping.
• Step 6 – The salt is ready when all the alcohol has evaporated and it returns to a dry, granular texture.
• Step 7 – Transfer the finished cannabis salt to an airtight container, label it, and store in a cool, dry place.
• Step 8 – Use sparingly to microdose and season a variety of foods.

Note: Printable, detailed instructions are included in the recipe card below.

Storage Instructions

Keep the infused salt as dry as possible to preserve potency and texture. Store it in an airtight mason jar or sealed bag. Properly stored, cannabis salt should remain good for at least three months and often longer.

Notes and Expert Tips

• If you’re new to cannabis, start with small amounts and consult beginner dosing guides. Microdosing is the main use case for this recipe — it’s hard to consume large quantities of salt at once, so this method naturally limits dose size.
• Do not cover the drying dish with an airtight lid; the alcohol needs to evaporate.
• If the salt forms clumps during drying, break them up using a food processor or place them in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin.
• Label the jar clearly and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
• This recipe is naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and fat-free, making it suitable for many dietary needs.
