One of the most popular trends to hit the cannabis market recently is marijuana-infused beverages, but surely you don’t have to wait for Coca-Cola to come out with cannabis cola for you to enjoy a little marijuana in your drink.
Worry no more because Canna Afrika has decided to share 3 cannabis – infused drinks that you could easily make at home for yourself or adult company.
CBD Milk
Ingredients:
1 gram of Cannabis for every 950 ml of milk:
Method:
- Put a steel bowl inside a pot of boiling water, also known as a double boiler, then add milk and cannabis to the steel bowl.
- Boil the mixture for 15 minutes, then lower the temperature and let it simmer for a few hours. Stirring occasionally to avoid curdling
- Then simply strain it, and you have cannabis milk!
The best part is that now you can use this milk to create cannabis milkshakes, cannabis coffee, hot chocolate, basically any other milk related goodies you want to create.
CBD Lemonade
Nothing is better than a cool drink in those hot summer days, so how about a refreshing glass of lemonade. First, we need to make a cannabis syrup:
Ingredients:
- 3 cups water
- 4 grams cannabis chopped fine
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp vegetable glycerine
Method:
Bring the water to a low boil, slowly add the cannabis, stirring frequently.
- Next add the sugar, stirring to dissolve it all.
- Cook for 20 minutes, covered, not allowing the mixture to boil too vigorously.
- Remove cover and add vegetable glycerine while continue cooking, gentle bubbles, for 7-8 minutes, stirring constantly. The mixture will thicken.
- Allow the syrup to cool and transfer to a measuring cup with a spout. (Less spills!)
- Strain the syrup through a small strainer and cheesecloth. Best kept in the fridge.
After all is said and done you can just add the syrup to your normal lemonade mixture either in just a glass or a whole picture to share with guests or keep in the fridge. What is more is now you won’t only be enjoying just lemonade if you want to take it a step future and use it in any cocktail recipes that require simple syrup you are more than welcome.
Vodka with CBD Mixer
So just in case you want to make cocktails that don’t involve here is one for the books, cannabis vodka. This can be a little tricky, but we are here to make it simple for you.
Ingredients:
- 250 vodka (or any spirit of your choice)
- 1- 3 grams of chopped cannabis (the more grams the stronger it is, both dried and fresh cannabis work fine)
Method:
- Set up your double boiler on the lowest possible heat
- Wrap cannabis in cheesecloth to make small package. If you want to produce a strong psychoactive effects then using dry is best, the fresh won’t be as strong but will produce a nice colour and flavour profile.
- Pour the vodka in the double boiler and add the cannabis package and let it infuse for 2 – 3 hours, use a thermometer to make sure it never goes above 60ºC – 80ºC. The longer you infuse the stronger the result is but know that you will risk alcohol potency.
- Remove the cannabis, pour out vodka and let it cool before sealing. To clear the vodka of its colouring, just put in through a coffee filter.
