Ingredients
1/2-10
grams
decarbed cannabis flower
*see dosing guidelines below
4
cups
full-fat milk or heavy cream
Instructions
Combine the cannabis flower and milk in a 2-quart saucepan. Place the saucepan over low heat.
Gently bring the mixture to 165° F. This process should be done slowly and typically takes 30 minutes.
Once the mixture reaches 165° F, maintain the heat and let simmer for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, strain the cannabis oil through a
paper filter
and
funnel
, cheesecloth, or French press to separate the plant matter from the milk.
If desired, you can save the
leftover cannabis pulp
for use in future recipes.
Return the prepared cannabis milk to an airtight container, like a
mason jar
, and store it in the refrigerator.
Base your storage time in the refrigerator based on the original expiration date of the milk you used.
