How to Make a Cannabis Recipe
Cannabis recipes refer to any type of food or drink that incorporates cannabis as either an integral ingredient or as an add-in during cooking, often through infusing butter or oil with cannabis as part of the recipe. Cannabis can be used in sweet as well as savory dishes; for best results use only high quality cannabis free from mold, pesticides and pathogens for each recipe and utilize an edible dosage calculator or measure out according to what the specific recipe requires.
Beginners to cannabis recipes should start off slowly and easily, such as with box brownie mix. Just be sure to swap out some of the butter with cannabis-infused butter so you can easily manage how much is consumed.
Once you’ve mastered the fundamentals of cannabis cooking, it’s time to step it up a notch. One effective technique for creating cannabis-infused culinary creations is infusing oils or butter with cannabis-derived extracts. This technique can be found in both savory and sweet recipes, from pasta with olive oil to chocolate pretzel cookies and citrus-infused cake. When creating cannabis-based oil or butter recipes, decarboxylization of cannabis prior to its use is absolutely vital. Decarboxylation is the process by which raw cannabis terpenes are converted to psychoactive cannabinoids. This can be accomplished by baking it at low temperature for approximately 30 minutes at a temperature no higher than 240 degrees Fahrenheit; otherwise terpenes could be damaged and its flavor and potency reduced significantly.
Infusing liquids such as juice or water with cannabis is another popular method for creating cannabis-infused culinary masterpieces. This process works particularly well when adding cannabis into beverages or as the basis of sauces and dressings; beginners should start out by following simple recipes until they master this process.
If you’re searching for an original cannabis dish, why not give tincturing a try? Tinctures are an easy and time-tested method of cannabis preparation which can be used to infuse foods and drinks – including gummies! Making your own cannabis tincture recipe takes just days!
Consistency is key when it comes to creating cannabis-infused edibles, and using a professional chef’s recipe will ensure you end up with consistent doses of active cannabinoids. Beginning with small batches and gradually increasing serving sizes will give you a better sense of how your body reacts to various dosage amounts. When measuring ingredients it’s also crucial that an accurate kitchen scale be used; an inaccurate scale could result in inconsistent results so consider investing in digital kitchen scale.
