If you’re looking to make your own cannabis-infused drinks and beverages at home, there are some key tips and techniques you should definitely consider. The first and most important tip is to use quality ingredients. Quality cannabis and properly sourced ingredients will ensure your drink is safe to consume, tastes better, and is more potent.
When buying ingredients for your drink, look for organically-sourced, pesticide and additive-free options. The cannabis itself should be sourced from a reliable dispensary; check with the dispensary for their dosage information. When infusing beverages, it’s important to keep in mind that the ideal THC content should be between five and fifteen milligrams per serving. If ingredients are measured properly, this should help ensure the drinks stay consistent and potent.
When making cannabis-infused beverages at home, it’s best to use an oil-based infusion method. Oils, such as coconut and olive, are much more effective at infusing the beverage with THC than using alcohol or other methods. The oil will also provide a better flavor, as it won’t add any additional flavor to the drink. To get started, first grind up the cannabis and place it in an oil bath. Heat the mixture on the stove, stirring occasionally, until the cannabis is fully decarboxylated and the oil has been infused. You can then strain the mixture and add it to your beverage of choice.
Once the drink has been infused, it’s important to store it properly. Cannabis-infused drinks should be stored in jars or bottles and kept in a cool, dark place. Make sure to label the jar or bottle with the name of the drink, the potency of the cannabis, the type of infusion used, and the expiration date. And remember that the potency of cannabis-infused drinks can vary drastically depending on the type of cannabis used, the length of time the drink sits in the infusion, and the individual’s metabolism.
Last but not least, enjoy your cannabis-infused drink responsibly and in moderation. If it is your first time trying a cannabis-infused drink or if it is your first time infusing beverages at home, start with smaller doses and work your way up. And remember to always talk to your doctor before trying any new form of cannabis-infused drink.
Making cannabis-infused beverages at home can be an easy and rewarding experience if done right. Just be sure to pay attention to the quality of the cannabis and ingredients used, follow an oil-based infusion method, store the drink properly, and enjoy it in moderation. Follow these tips and techniques, and you’ll be well on your way to creating your own amazing and consistent cannabis-infused drinks and beverages.
