Cannabis Beverages Recipes You Must Try out This Holiday Season

The holiday season is here and we can almost smell the delicious aromas being emitted from our kitchens. The time of the year we eagerly wait for, both to enjoy hogging on many delightful treats and to spend some quality time with the fam jam. Holidays introduce flavor and excitement into our monotonous day-to-day schedules that we are all trapped in.

With the welcome relief and peace that holidays bring into our lives, we decided to infuse it with marijuana to have the best relaxing festival season this time around. Consulting a weed doctor is of course the first thing to do before we even begin talking about our chosen topic of discussion. Only after a proper interaction with the doctor should you involve yourself in the task of creating cannabis-infused food at home and then consuming it. Another important thing for people to remember is to exercise caution on whoever consumes the treats they are cooking.

While in a rec state it is legal to consume a particular amount of cannabis via edibles or drinks, in other states it simply isn’t. Hence being mindful of the law and trying to be wary of whoever partakes is an important habit to adopt for everyone. Now that this disclaimer is out of the way, we can finally begin to list down the important cannabis beverages recipes that you can try out this holiday season.

Remove the pan from direct heat and immediately add a drop or two of vanilla extract. Pour into your favorite mugs and enjoy the time of your life.

Cannabis Infused Coconut Flavored Milk

Nothing replaces the good old milk when it comes to choosing something warm to drink right before bed. Infused with cannabis, even a simple mug of coconut flavored milk is sure to deliver all the amazing benefits from immense pain relief to all the insomnia-induced effects. The best part about having a glass of milk is the number of flavor options that people can experiment with.

Ingredients:

• 1 can of coconut milk
• 1 to 3 cups of almond or oat milk
• 1 tablespoon of cannabis-infused coconut oil
• 2 tablespoon powdered turmeric
• 1 Pinch of ground black pepper

Optional: 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of powdered ginger or powdered cinnamon, honey to taste

Directions to use: Heat the milk in a pan over the burner at a low heat. Whisk the optional powdered ginger or cinnamon slowly for a matter of a few minutes. Do not bring the milk to boil and further add cannabis-infused coconut oil to the milk. Let the mixture turn a yummy shade of golden. Add honey for taste.

Cannabis Infused Lemonade

After covering two hot beverages, we had to include a refreshing and exciting cannabis drink in this list. Lemonade is the ‘it’ cold beverage that people absolutely love. And when you combine the goodness of the two into a great mix, there is nothing better imaginable. What’s even better is that anyone can easily make it at home. Let us go through the list of ingredients and directions for use.

Ingredients:

• 1 to 2 cups sugar
• 3 to 4 cups of water
• 1/2 cup lemon juice from 5-6 lemons
• 2 to 4 tbsp cannabis tincture

Optional: 2 ½ tbsp fresh basil

Directions to use: The first step in the process is to juice the 5 to 6 lemons and set it aside. Combine the 2 cups of sugar with water and bring to a boil for perfect dissolution. Let this mixture cool down and after chilling add this sugary mix to the lemon juice that has been set aside. Stir it constantly and then gradually add the cannabis tincture into the mix and also basil, if desired. Pour this lemony goodness into a glass or put it in the freezer to serve it chill.

Cannabis Infused Apple Cider

No flavor truly represents the warmness and spiciness of the winter season than the wonderfully heartwarming apple cider. Couple it with cannabis and you’re literally creating the perfect Christmas drink. When the chill of the season is at its peak or you’re waiting for Santa to bring you a load of presents, you can literally sip on this delicious drink and recognize all your blessings.

Ingredients:

• 1 to 2 cups applejack or apple brandy
• 3 to 4 tbsp of cannabutter
• 1/4 cup of brown sugar
• 5 to 6 cups of apple cider or apple juice
• 5 to 6 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Optional: cardamom pods, peppercorns, allspice, 6 cinnamon sticks fresh grated nutmeg, sliced lemon and orange

Directions to use: Combine cannabutter, brown sugar and the applejack or brandy and then put this mixture over a low heat. Stir this mixture continuously to ensure no lumpy remains are found in it but do not bring it to a boil. Add the cider and fresh lemon juice to introduce a refreshing element into the beverage. Use the optional ingredients as per personal needs.
