Bite Me The Show About Edibles
Make great cannabis edibles at home for less money.
Medicated Sauces and Condiments
Medicated sauces and condiments are one of the smartest ways to add cannabis to your cooking. Instead of infusing an entire dish, you infuse the sauce and control exactly how much goes on each plate. They are versatile, easy to store, and incredibly practical for everyday use.
A batch of infused hot sauce, aioli, or compound butter can be used across multiple meals. Make it on the weekend and use it all week.
Adding an infused sauce at the end gives you full control. You decide how much goes on each plate rather than cooking cannabis into the whole dish.
Most sauces and condiments are oil or butter-based, which makes them ideal for infusion. THC binds to fat, so the chemistry is already built into the format.

Control Your Dose
The beauty of infusing condiments is that each person can control how much they add. That said, you still need to know the mg per tablespoon (or per serving) before you pass the bottle. Do the math before the meal.
Use the Dosage Calculator →- 1Know the potency of your starting material (mg per gram).
- 2Weigh or measure exactly what you’re adding to the batch.
- 3Divide total mg by the number of servings.
- 4Start at 2.5–5mg and wait the full 45 minutes.
- 5Store clearly labelled and separate from non-infused condiments.

Medicated Sauces and Condiments FAQ
What types of sauces work best for cannabis infusion? Oil-based and butter-based sauces are the easiest starting point. Think aioli, chimichurri, hot sauce, compound butter, pesto, or any pan sauce finished with butter. Fat-forward sauces hold cannabinoids well and deliver consistent results.
Can I infuse a tomato-based or water-based sauce? You can, but water-based sauces require an emulsifier like lecithin to help cannabinoids distribute evenly. Without it, the THC tends to separate. Adding infused oil or butter to a tomato sauce is a cleaner approach.
How do I keep track of how much THC is in my condiment? Calculate the total mg when you make the batch, then divide by the number of tablespoons or servings. Write it on the jar before you put it away. This one step saves a lot of guesswork later.
How long do infused condiments keep? Most follow the same rules as their non-infused counterparts. Infused oils keep for one to two weeks in the fridge. Compound butters freeze well for up to three months. Anything with dairy or eggs (like aioli) should be treated like regular mayo. Always label with the date and mg.
Is it safe to heat an infused sauce? Gentle heating is fine. Avoid boiling or prolonged high heat, which can degrade THC. For pan sauces, add your infused butter or oil off the heat or at the very end of cooking. For cold condiments like aioli or salsa verde, no heat is involved at all.
Can I share infused condiments with guests? You absolutely can, but always disclose that something is infused before serving it. Never add cannabis to food or drinks without someone’s knowledge. Label clearly and keep infused and non-infused versions separate.
What is a good starting dose for an infused condiment? Most people do well starting at 2.5 to 5mg per serving. Since condiments are often used in small amounts, make sure your batch math reflects realistic portions. Use the dosage calculator to get accurate numbers before bottling.
