How To Make the Best Cannabis-Infused Drinks
Contents
There are more and more options for how you consume cannabis products in the modern age. As more states have legalized marijuana, it has become easier to get your hands on cannabis products like oils, which can be used to infuse products. A lot of people are doing this with cooking, creating “cannabutter” and other cannabis products, but you can also do the same with drinks!
Best Cannabis Drinks to Make
Drinks that include cannabis can be relatively simple to make. Cannabis-infused coconut oil can be a brilliant product to add to your drinks. If you want to make an alcoholic drink, then you can enjoy cannabis infused cocktails that include coconut, like Pina Coladas.
Alcoholic drinks aren’t always a good idea if you are going to be consuming THC as well as CBD. It’s better to make soft drinks.
Cannabis can be added to all sorts of tea drinks, including iced tea, which can sit in your fridge for a while, ready for consumption when you are ready, rather than needing to be hot to be consumed like some other teas.
You can enjoy a wide variety of different cold drinks, including cannabis lemonade, too. Some require you to make a cannabis-based syrup, and this can easily be added to a wide variety of beverages.
Where to Find Cannabis Products?
You should get your cannabis products from somewhere legal and regulated. This is the right thing to do in general, but it is also a way to control what type of cannabis you are using, and get information about the THC and CBD contents. Buying through a licensed marijuana dispensary means that you will be able to fully understand the strain you are consuming, plus the strength and potency of cannabis.
Another way to find cannabis products featuring a particular cannabis strain is to attend a cannabis event or festival. These events often feature a variety of vendors selling products and promoting their strains, and they can be a great way to learn more about the different types of cannabis available.
How to Make Cannabis Lemonade?
Lemonade is delicious and refreshing, and with the addition of cannabis and its effects, it can have all sorts of other benefits for your system, too.
Ingredients
• 80g of sugar
• 180ml water
• 100ml lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 3 teaspoons of cannabis (in the form of a tincture)
Directions
Firstly, add the sugar to a cup of your water, and boil it in a saucepan. This will dissolve the sugar. Once you’ve done this, you should cool the mixture and leave it in the fridge until it forms a cold syrup.
From here, add the rest of the water, along with lemon juice and your cannabis tincture into a pitcher.
Stir, and serve over ice. For a cool twist, you can add some crushed ice, or add ice cubes and put in a blender for a few seconds to make a cold “slush” style drink.
How to Make Cannabis Iced Tea?
Cannabis iced tea takes a little longer to prepare, but it is delicious, and you have the added bonus of a bit of caffeine in the drink to keep you stimulated
Ingredients
● 6 tea bags (this is a chance to experiment with different varieties)
● 2 eighths of chosen marijuana strain
● Lemons or peaches for garnish
● Other fruit you may want to add
Directions
Put ground marijuana in a pot full of cold water (around one gallon), add tea bags and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until it has brewed to the strength you want.
Use a strainer or a cheesecloth, and pour all of the tea out of the pot into a jug or pitcher, making sure that none of the flower or tea bags get through. You can use tea leaves if you would prefer, and this is the stage to get rid of these, too
While it’s warm, add some twists, such as lemon or peaches, or pretty much any fruit you desire. You can also add some syrup or sugar to sweeten it up, as iced tea can be quite bitter without.
Final Words
The great thing about both of these drinks is that they give you a chance to experiment and add different ingredients that you think will be delicious! Fruits and different sweeteners such as syrups almost all work well with both drinks. Choose a mellow strain and you can enjoy a warm afternoon with an ice cold cannabis-infused beverage.
