How to Make Cannabis-Infused Milk - Base Recipe

This will be the recipe to follow if you want to make cannabis milk with ground-up herbs. The recipe for the used grinder cannamilk will be below. Making cannabis milk is a great way to get introduced to the world of making edibles. It is very simple, and the results will be great if you follow this recipe exactly.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of whole milk (or milk alternative of your choice). Read why full-fat milk works best below.

• 1-3 grams of decarboxylated cannabis (adjust amount based on desired strength)

• 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (optional, helps with cannabis infusion)

Potency Level:

• For a mild potency, use 1 gram of cannabis for every cup of milk.

• For a moderate potency, use 2 grams of cannabis for every cup of milk.

• For a strong potency, use 3 grams of cannabis for every cup of milk.

Remember, it's essential to start with small amounts and gradually increase if needed, as the potency of the cannabis can vary. This allows you to find your preferred strength and avoid overwhelming experiences.

Equipment:

• Grinder or food processor

• Saucepan

• Cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer

• Storage container or bottle

Instructions:

Grind the cannabis: use a grinder or food processor to break down your cannabis buds into a fine powder. This will help maximize the extraction process.

Decarboxylate the cannabis: Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Spread the ground cannabis evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place it in the oven. Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. This process activates the cannabinoids in the cannabis, making them psychoactive.

Infusing the milk: In a saucepan, pour the milk and coconut oil (if using) and heat it over medium to low heat until it begins to simmer. Be careful not to let it boil.

Add the cannabis: Once the milk is simmering, add the decarboxylated cannabis to the saucepan. Stir well to ensure the cannabis is fully immersed in the milk. Stirring frequently is important to avoid burning ingredients.

Simmer and steep: Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the cannabinoids to infuse into the milk. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent scorching or boiling.

Strain the mixture: After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Set up a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a storage container or bottle. Slowly pour the milk through the strainer, allowing it to filter out the cannabis particles. Use a spoon to press down on the cannabis to extract all the infused milk.

Store and refrigerate: Once strained, let the cannabis-infused milk cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator. Use a tightly sealed container or bottle and label it with the date and potency (if desired). The infused milk can be stored for up to one week.

Enjoy your homemade cannamilk in your favorite recipes or simply as a standalone beverage. Cheers to a delicious and customizable cannabis-infused creation!

You can always double the recipe by doubling the cups of milk and/or plant matter.

How to Make Cannabis Milk Using A Dirty Grinder

Let's get one thing straight: consuming kief-infused milk from the grinder boiling process won't result in an intense high. In fact, the THC content is relatively low, so don't expect mind-blowing effects.

However, the real beauty of this weed hack lies in its ability to minimize waste. Grinders excel at collecting kief (we've witnessed impressive accumulations), but there's always that tiny bit that stubbornly clings to the grinder, leaving you pondering how to salvage it without resorting to cotton swabs and wasting it.

The choice of whether to try this weed hack is entirely yours. You can clean your grinder and indulge in THC-infused milk if you desire, or you can opt to skip it altogether. Just remember to give your grinder a thorough rinse with warm water after its milky soak to ensure proper cleanliness.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of whole milk (or milk alternative of your choice)

• Used cannabis grinder (with accumulated kief)

• 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (optional, helps with cannabis infusion)

Equipment:

• Saucepan

• Cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer

• Storage container or bottle

Instructions:

Infusing the milk: In a saucepan, pour the milk and coconut oil (if using) and heat it over low to medium heat until it begins to simmer. Be careful not to let it boil.

This is especially important when adding a grinder to the mix, as the milk will be less sticky if it doesn't boil. This makes rinsing the grinder post-simmer much easier.

Add the used cannabis grinder: Once the milk is simmering, add the used cannabis grinder (including accumulated kief) to the saucepan. Stir well to ensure the cannabis is fully immersed in the milk.

Simmer and steep: Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the cannabinoids in the grinder to undergo decarboxylation and infuse into the milk. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent scorching or boiling.

Strain the mixture: After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Set up a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a storage container or bottle.

Slowly pour the milk through the strainer, allowing it to filter out any remaining cannabis particles. Use a spoon to press down on the grinder to extract all the infused milk.

Store and refrigerate: Once strained, let the cannabis-infused milk cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator. Use a tightly sealed container or bottle and label it with the date and potency (if desired). The infused milk can be stored for up to one week.

Serving Suggestions: The potency of the cannabis-infused milk will vary depending on the amount of accumulated kief in your grinder. Remember, the grinder may contain varying levels of THC, so it's advisable to consume in moderation until you determine your tolerance.

Enjoy your homemade cannabis-infused milk in various recipes or savor it as a standalone beverage. Cheers, to repurposing your used grinder and unlocking a new way to enjoy cannabis-infused creations!

Cannamilk To Hot Chocolate Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of full-fat cannamilk (using either the decarboxylated cannabis or the used grinder method)

• 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder

• 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

• 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

• Whipped cream or marshmallows for topping (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a small saucepan, heat the cannamilk over moderate heat until it begins to simmer. Be careful not to let it boil.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.

3. Gradually add the cocoa mixture into the simmering cannamilk, whisking constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.

4. Continue to stir frequently over moderate heat until it thickens slightly and reaches your desired temperature. This should take about 5 minutes.

5. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

6. Pour the cannabis-infused hot chocolate into mugs and top with whipped cream or marshmallows if desired.

7. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm and comforting cannabis-infused cocoa.

Note: Again, since the potency of the cannamilk can vary depending on the method used (decarboxylated cannabis or used grinder), it's important to start with a small serving and gradually increase as desired. Be mindful of your tolerance and adjust accordingly to avoid overconsumption.

Feel free to customize your hot cocoa by adding spices like cinnamon or a dash of peppermint extract for a delightful twist. Savor each sip and embrace the soothing effects of cannabis-infused hot cocoa during those cozy moments.

Commonly Asked Questions About Cannamilk

Can I use other types of milk?

Using full-fat milk is recommended for cannabis-infused milk for a few reasons:

Fat content: THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis, is fat-soluble. Full-fat milk contains a higher amount of natural fats, which can enhance the extraction and absorption of THC. The fat acts as a carrier, allowing for a better infusion of cannabinoids into the milk. You could even add a little heavy cream to make it even better suited for extraction.

More fat / higher fat content= Better extraction of THC and other cannabinoids.

Creamier texture: Full-fat milk has a richer and creamier texture compared to alternative milk options like coconut milk, soy milk, or almond milk. This can enhance the overall taste and mouthfeel of the infused milk, making it more enjoyable to consume.

Similarities with traditional recipes: Many cannabis-infused recipes, including those involving milk, often call for full-fat dairy products. By using full-fat milk, you can maintain consistency with traditional recipes and ensure that the infused milk integrates seamlessly into your cooking and baking.

However, if you have dietary restrictions or preferences that necessitate the use of alternative milk options, you can certainly experiment with coconut milk, soy milk, almond milk, or other milk substitutes.

Keep in mind that the fat content and texture may differ from cow's milk, which could impact the overall infusion process and final results. Adjustments may be needed to achieve the desired potency and consistency in your infused milk.

Will boiling my grinder in milk get me high?

It will, but consuming kief-infused milk from the grinder boiling process probably won't result in an intense high. In fact, the THC content is relatively low, so don't expect mind-blowing effects.

Cannamilk dosage

How much cannabis you use will determine how strong your cannabis milk will be.

To customize the potency of your cannabis-infused milk, follow the guidelines in the base cannamilk recipe above. Remember that you can always use more or less than recommended. If it's your first time making cannabis milk. Use less, not more.

If you found out the marijuana milk you made was too strong, drink less of it or add more milk to dilute it. If you choose to dilute it, shake well before pouring it to ensure it is properly mixed.

When you have figured out how much cannabis to use, based on your tolerance level, keep using the same ratio of plant matter to milk and you will achieve similar results.

How should I use my cannabis milk?

you can drink your cannamilk straight or use it in a recipe that calls for regular milk. If making one portion, remember to add one portion of cannamilk, not as much milk as the recipe calls for.

How long can I store cannabis milk?

The milk's original expiry date is the only thing I can recommend. Smell and taste before throwing away.
