The Cannabis Recipe – How to Cook With Cannabis

Cannabis recipes are the process by which plants are turned into edible products that can be enjoyed recreationally or medically. There are various ways of making cannabis edibles, the most common being using tinctures made by soaking marijuana leaves in alcohol, oil or glycerin and then mixing this liquid into other recipes containing cannabis. While using tinctures can provide precise control over how much cannabis is consumed at once, learning how to cook with cannabis and create your own cannabis-infused recipes may prove more efficient and convenient in the long run.

One of the easiest and simplest ways to add cannabis to a dish is through cooking with cannabis-infused butter or oil. These recipes can often be easily prepared, making for quick additions that complement a variety of different meals. Unfortunately, using this form of cannabis degrades at higher temperatures; to prevent this happening it is essential that only small quantities are used per dish, at low temperatures, to maximize cannabis flavor.

Cooking with cannabis can be tricky for novice chefs, but once you master it you’ll be able to craft all kinds of dishes effortlessly. Here are a few of our favorite cannabis-based dishes you should give a try.

If you don’t want to dedicate hours creating butter or oil infusions, cannabis milk might be your perfect solution. As this versatile type of cannabis is very adaptable and can be used in almost any recipe that calls for milk, it may save time by opting for this approach instead. Just be mindful that its shelf life won’t last as long so consume within one week of making.

To create cannabis milk, mix cannabis with milk and stir thoroughly. It is best to store cannabis milk in an opaque glass container so as to prevent sunlight from damaging its cannabinoids, or you could strain the milk through a tea strainer or cheesecloth before refrigerating for use just like traditional dairy milk products – just remember the sell-by date as cannabinoids degrade over time, especially during hot weather.
