Weed Milk Recipe

One of the easiest recipes you can make is weed milk. To make this recipe, you will need 7-10 grams of cannabis buds and 2 cups of Canna milk.

Here are the steps:

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Fahrenheit.
Chop up the cannabis buds with a marijuana grinder or scissors.
Spread the cannabis powder out on a parchment-lined baking sheet or pan.
De-char the bud pieces by baking them in the oven for 20–25 minutes.
Preheat a large pot over high heat and add the decarboxylated marijuana.
Now pour in the milk and monitor the temperature with a thermometer until it reaches 220°F.
Once it hits 220°F, hold it there for 45 minutes, trying not to go above 220°F, which would scald the milk, or below 220°F, which wouldn’t properly extract the cannabinoids.
When the infusion is complete, remove the pot from the heat and allow the CannaMilk to cool to a safe temperature for handling.
Pour the cannabis milk through a fine mesh strainer.
