Alternate Cannabis Infusion Options
As with all things edibles, there is more than one way to infuse something. Below we will explore the different ways you could infuse this recipe.
Infused sugar - you can use regular granulated sugar or cannabis sugar. If you only have a tiny bit of cannabis sugar, substitute in a tablespoon of sugar that is not infused.
Infused milk - you can use regular milk or cannabis milk. The higher the fat %, the creamier the mix will be.
Sprinkle with kief - just like our other spices, you can sprinkle a bit of decarbed cannabis or kief on top. How much kief is up to you! Just don't use raw cannabis.
Cannabutter - while it's not my favorite way, you could add a bit of melted cannabutter during step 7.
Cannabis tincture - if you want to add in a small amount, you can add in a tincture when adding the vanilla extract.
Notes and Expert Tips
- If you're new to edibles, be mindful of your THC dosage. Although you want to have a delightful experience, a fun experience, you don't want to learn the hard way what it means to overconsume cannabis edibles.
- Keep out of reach of children. While it's amazing to reach for a glass of medicated eggnog after a long day of work, this treat is for the adult sweet tooth only.
- Whether it be OG Kush or a strain with a specific terpene profile - pick your favorite cannabis strain to enjoy!
- If you'd like to make the mixing process easy, feel free to use a bowl of a stand mixer. There are some really good brands that can cut the mixing process time in half and create soft peaks that are perfect for this holiday drink!
