Equipment

Ingredients

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.

Notes

Helpful Tips & Tricks
  • Ensure you heat the milk up slowly to prevent scalding
  • If your stove runs too hot, use a stovetop diffuser
  • To make CBD cannabis milk, simply swap CBD dominant cannabis flower for the THC dominant cannabis flower
  • To make dairy-free cannabis-infused milk, simply swap the traditional dairy-based full-fat milk for full-fat coconut milk
