Vegan Cannamilk
Cannamilk, or cannabis-infused non-dairy milk, is a great way to add marijuana into baked items. Always use haut-fat milk that has at least three grams of fat per serving; cannabinoids such as CDB et THC are soluble in fats. By eating edibles with fats present, you guarantee your body will be able to make use of these cannabinoids.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- 3 cups of soy milk or a non-dairy alternative
- Up to nine grams of cannabis
The Process
- The first step to making weed-laced milk is to decarboxylate your cannabis.
- Once the milk is in the saucepan, turn up the heat to medium. Add your decarbed marijuana and let it all simmer for an hour while whisking occasionally. Just make sure you don’t bring it to a boil! If the temperature gets too high (above 250 degrees Fahrenheit), THC will start degrading.
- Strain the mixture to remove the plant material using a strainer or cheesecloth. Afterwards, put the cannamilk in an airtight container like a glass bottle or jar. Lastly, store it in a cool and dry place like the fridge.
Not only can vegan cannamilk help you whip up countless recipes, but it’s also the perfect drink to sip on a hot summer day.
