Cannabis Edibles are now among the most sought-after cannabis products for users. However, using Edibles is often inconvenient as they can take a while to kick in and the effects take even longer to wear off. Luckily, Cannabis Beverages are a great alternative and you can even learn how to make the best cannabis-infused drinks at home.
Cannabis-infused drinks work a lot like Edibles. You consume them orally, as you would any other drink, and after around 30 minutes you’ll feel the effects of cannabis. They work faster than Edibles and the effects don’t last as long, making them arguably much more convenient- as well as delicious and refreshing. So how do you make them? Here are some of the best cannabis-infused drinks you can make right now.
How To Make Cannabis-Infused Milk
If you want to make some of the best cannabis-infused drinks, then it’s worth making cannabis milk first. Not only can you drink cannabis milk by itself, but you can also infuse it into all kinds of other drinks, including hot drinks, milkshakes, smoothies, and more. It’s also quite simple to make compared to other cannabis-infused condiments, just make sure you use full-fat milk.
Ingredients:
- 500ml of full-fat milk
- 2 grams of cannabis buds
Step 1: Start by boiling plenty of water in a saucepan and placing a steel bowl inside to create a double boiler.
Step 2: Next, add your milk and cannabis to the steel bowl. You’ll want to use around 0.5-1 gram of cannabis for every 250ml of milk you use, although you can use more or less depending on how potent you want it to be. Break the cannabis into buds before adding it.
Step 3: Allow the milk to boil (this usually takes around 15 minutes) then lower the temperature and leave it to simmer for 2-3 hours while stirring occasionally. It’s important not to let your cannabis buds boil for long as this will reduce their potency.
Step 4: After leaving your milk to boil for 2-3 hours, slowly strain it into a sealable jar or container through a cheesecloth. This separates the milk from the leftover cannabis. You can then place your container in the fridge and use your potent cannabis milk when you need it.
How To Make Cannabis-Infused Coffee
Want to start your morning with a kick of caffeine and the soothing effects of cannabis? You can do so by making cannabis-infused coffee. You might want to make cannabis coffee by adding a small dose of cannabis-infused milk to a regular cup of coffee, but this method is arguably even simpler.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups of water
- Coffee granules
- Milk
- Cannabis Tincture
Step 1: Start by brewing a cup of coffee as you normally would. One of the simplest ways to do so is to boil 3 cups of water, add coffee granules, and stir, but you can also make it using a coffee machine or any other method you want.
Step 2: Add your milk and any other additions you want to your coffee. Now, simply allow your coffee to cool down slightly before adding Cannabis Tincture.
Step 3: Add your desired dose of Cannabis Tincture Oil to your cup of coffee and stir thoroughly. THC Tinctures will add the effects of cannabis to your coffee, but you can also use CBD Tincture if you want to avoid these effects. A dose of around 15 mg of Tincture is good for most users.
Step 4: Tinctures are designed to mix into other liquids with ease, so after stirring, your potent cannabis coffee is ready. You can also use this method to make cannabis-infused tea or hot chocolate.
How To Make Cannabis-Infused Lemonade
While Cannabis Milk is great for smoothies and milkshakes and Cannabis Coffee or Tea is perfect for waking up in the morning, cannabis-infused lemonade is arguably the most refreshing cannabis beverage you can make. This will help soothe your body and relax your mind while also providing a refreshing summer drink.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of lemon juice
- 5 cups of cold water
- 200 grams of sugar
- Cannabis Tincture
- A few ice cubes
Step 1: First, juice your lemons into a bowl or container. You can do this by hand or use an electric juicer to make the process simpler. Around 6-8 lemons should give you around 2 cups or 500ml of lemon juice.
Step 2: Mix your lemon juice with the sugar and water in a pitcher and stir thoroughly until the sugar dissolves. You should use around 5 cups of water and 200 grams of sugar for 2 cups of lemon juice, although you might want to experiment with different proportions.
Step 3: You can now add a few drops of Cannabis Tincture to your lemonade and stir thoroughly. You might want to add this to a single cup of lemonade rather than to the whole pitcher to make controlling your dosage easier.
You can also make cannabis syrup by boiling decarboxylated cannabis buds with sugar and water. This can then be added to your lemonade mixture for a potent cannabis-infused lemonade. However, this method is more time-consuming than simply using THC or CBD Tincture.
