Recipe for Cannabis Infused Hot Chocolate

Skill level: Beginner // Preparation time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Cup of milk

• 1 Teaspoon of coconut oil (either regular or cannabis infused)

• 1 Cup of water

• 2 Tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1-2 grams of marijuana (bud, hash, or trimmings)

• Coffee filter

Instructions

1. First, grind up your marijuana as finely as possible.

2. Add the marijuana, water, milk and coconut oil into a saucepan. The cannabinoids within your cannabis are not water soluble, it is essential to put the coconut oil into the mix to help the cannabinoids bind to fats. Without it, you will experience weaker effects.

   

3. Place your mixture on a medium heat so that it begins to simmer. Do not bring the mixture to a full, violent boil if possible.

   

4. Leave it to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring every few minutes to keep the marijuana from sticking to the bottom.

   

5. Take a mug and place the cocoa powder or hot chocolate mix into it.

   

6. Place the coffee filter on top of the mug and pour your cannabis mixture through it, removing the ground up plant matter.

   

7. Stir you mug to mix everything together.

   

8. Top it off with whipped cream, or anything else that you may want in your hot chocolate.

   

There you have it! You are now ready to sit back, relax and enjoy a warming and tasty treat! As with any marijuana recipe, you can add in any amount of marijuana, making it stronger or weaker to suit your needs. The ingredients of the recipe can be easily multiplied to increase the servings when you have friends around. As with most edibles, it will take roughly 45 minutes for the marijuana to take effect.
