Cannabis Milk (sugar free)

Also called “Mother’s Milk”, cannabis milk is the way many medical cannabis users opt to take their medicine. It’s a delicious way to incorporate cannabis into your morning coffee or tea, and it’s also a key ingredient in many cannabis beverages.

Here’s how to make it.

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups of whole milk
  • ¼ ounce of finely ground cannabis flower
  • Cheesecloth

Directions:

  1. Start by decarboxylating your cannabis in an oven set to 240 degrees. Spread the cannabis evenly on a baking sheet or dish, and cover with aluminum foil. Put it in the oven for 25 minutes, and let it cool.
  2. Using the double boiler method, bring the milk to a simmer. Add your cannabis slowly, stirring, until the milk completely covers the cannabis. Simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. It should be greenish-yellow in color.
  1. Remove from heat, and strain with a cheesecloth. Squeeze out every drop of milk from the cheesecloth to avoid wasting any of the potent liquid.
  2. Allow to cool and enjoy either alone or added to another drink.

Vanilla Cannabis Milkshake

This is one of the more versatile cannabis drink recipes that can be used to make any flavor of milkshake you want — just switch to your preferred type of ice cream. Cannabis milk makes this a creamy, sweet treat that’s perfect for cooling you down on a hot day.

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups vanilla ice cream
  • 1 3/4 cups cannabis milk
  • 8 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

  1. Combine ingredients in a blender. Mix until milkshake reaches desired consistency.
  2. Pour into a tall chilled glass and enjoy!

Strawberry Canna-Basil Lemonade

When you want a treat that’s as refreshing as it is potent, this strawberry basil lemonade is the canna-bee’s knees. If you don’t have an immersion blender on hand, a standard blender will get the job done.

Ingredients:

  • ⅔ cups sugar
  • 3 ¼ cups water
  • ½ cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed (about 5 lemons)
  • 4-6 strawberries (tops cut off)
  • 2 ½ tbsp fresh basil
  • 4 tbsp cannabis tincture

Directions:

  1. Juice the lemons and set the juice aside in a large pitcher.
  2. Combine sugar with one cup of water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir frequently to make sure the sugar dissolves.
  3. Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature and set in the refrigerator until chilled.
  4. Add the syrup mixture to the lemon juice, along with the cannabis tincture, remaining water, strawberries, and basil.
  5. Use an immersion blender for about twenty seconds to fully blend the ingredients. When the basil is finely chopped and the lemonade has turned pink, it’s ready to be enjoyed.
  6. Serve chilled or over ice.

Cannabis Thai Iced Tea

  2. Combine condensed milk and cannabutter in a small bowl, and mix.
  3. Fill glasses two-thirds of the way with tea and add the butter mixture to the top. It will sink, so be sure to have a straw or spoon handy to stir it back in. Drink, and enjoy!
