6. Cannamilk

Vegan cannamilk is also referred to as cannabis-infused non-dairy milk. It is one of the best ways to infuse pot into baked products. The most important point is to use at least three grams of fat for every serving. This is because THC and CBD are fat-soluble and ingesting cannabis this way ensures your body gets the cannabinoids more readily. To make cannamilk, here is what you need:

Ingredients

• Cannabis – About 9 grams
• Soy milk or a non-dairy alternative – 1 cup

Procedure

1. At the start of every cannamilk making process, you have to do some decarboxylation to activate the THC. To do this, break up the cannabis into small bits the size of rice grains and bake it for 45 minutes at 225 degrees. 
2. Then, add the milk and dec-carbed cannabis to a saucepan over medium heat. 
3. Let the mixture simmer for about an hour as you stir occasionally, ensuring it does not boil. This is because temperatures above 250 degrees might degrade the THC in your weed.
4. Next, use a cheesecloth or strainer to sieve out the plant material.
5. Pour the ready cannamilk into a jar or glass bottle and refrigerate it. Or you can start preparing one of the cannabis edibles mentioned above, if you have the munchies.
