Cannabis and cooking go hand-in-hand. It is a great way to combine a love for food with a love for your sweet green. So, for those who want to get a little creative in the kitchen, we have put together a recipe to make cannabis-infused milk - a delicious treat that can be drunk on its own, as part of a milkshake, or used as part of a larger cooking recipe. It is the cannabis perfect base.
How To Make Marijuana Milk
Does the idea of a cannabis-infused milkshake sound appealing? Well, you are going to need some cannabis-infused milk first!
You Will Need
- Full-fat milk
- Cannabis
- Sieve and cheesecloth
- The quantities of each ingredient will largely depend on your tolerance. As a general rule, 0.5-1g per 1/4 litre of milk will be sufficient for most. If you use more than this in a regular joint, then up the dose per 1/4 litre proportionately.
Important: The milk used must be full fat. Fat is required to bind the cannabinoids from your cannabis into the milk. Choosing a low-fat milk will be much less efficient.
Instructions
1. Grind up your cannabis into a fine powder. The finer you grind it, the better it will infuse the milk.
2. Pour the milk into a pan and place it on a medium heat so that it begins to simmer, but not fully boil.
3. Add your cannabis to the milk and stir everything together thoroughly.
4. Allow the mix to continue bubbling away for another hour, stirring every now and again. Be sure to keep a close eye on it to make sure it doesn’t boil over.
5. After an hour, turn off the heat and allow the milk mix to cool.
It is important to cook your milk for an hour to ensure the cannabis decarboxylates and fully binds to the milk. Without this process, the compounds within the cannabis will not activate to their full effect - heat is required to make sure THC and the other cannabinoids do their job. You can find out more about decarboxylation and why it is so important in our in-depth explanation.
6. Strain the mix through your sieve and cheesecloth into an airtight container. This will remove the plant matter and leave you with some ready to use cannabis infused milk!
It is as simple as that! Just be sure to store your cannabis milk in the fridge, and use it before the milk’s original expiry date. It is the perfect ingredient to make so many other tasty treats with, to dip cookies in, or just use as a refreshing, yet buzzing drink!
Other Milk Options
We understand that some people don’t drink cow's milk. Some people are vegans and don’t believe in consuming animal products, whereas others don’t tolerate lactose too well. Either way, this shouldn’t stop you from enjoying the magic of cannabis and CBD milk.
There are plenty of milk alternatives out there, which means you can enjoy this delicious and nutritious edible recipe. These include:
- Coconut milk
- Almond milk
- Cashew milk
- Soy milk
Let’s dive a little deeper into the benefits of each type of vegan milk.
| Coconut Milk | Of all the listed options, coconut milk will capture the most cannabinoids. Molecules such as THC and CBD bind to fat, and coconut milk contains around 57g of fat per cup—around twice as much as the other vegan options. As well as absorbing all of those valuable plant chemicals, coconut milk boasts lots of antioxidant nutrients, electrolytes, and a bunch of protein and vitamin C. |
| Almond Milk | Almond milk offers only 3g of fat per cup. Although less cannabinoid-friendly, this type of plant-based milk provides a great low-calorie option—that’s if you don’t mind sacrificing some potency. Almond milk also provides a boatload of calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin D. |
| Cashew Milk | Cashew milk varies slightly in its fat content. Some types weigh in with 4g of fat per cup, whereas others only provide around 2g. If you find a high-fat version, you can achieve a good cannabinoid infusion while enjoying the buttery and sweet taste of cashew nuts. You’ll also receive around 1–2g of protein per cup, along with an assortment of vitamins and minerals. |
| Soy Milk | Soy milk packs around 4g of fat per cup, alongside 7g of protein. A fresh cup of CBD-infused soy milk makes a good option after a workout to get all of those amino acids in, while soothing your muscles with cannabidiol. |
