The holiday season is a time for indulgence and what better way to enjoy the festivities than with a delicious and potent cannabis-infused eggnog? This classic drink can be elevated with the addition of cannabis, providing a range of potential therapeutic effects, including pain relief, relaxation, and stress reduction. Here is a step-by-step guide to making your own cannabis-infused eggnog.

Step 1: Gather your ingredients

To make cannabis-infused eggnog, you will need the following ingredients:

• 4 cups of whole milk
• 1 cup of heavy cream
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 vanilla bean
• 8 egg yolks
• 1 cup of granulated sugar
• 1-2 grams of cannabis
• 1 cup of rum or brandy (optional)
• Nutmeg for garnish

Step 2: Decarboxylate your cannabis

To activate the cannabinoids in your cannabis, you will need to decarboxylate it. Preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C). Spread your cannabis out on a baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once finished, let it cool and then grind it up.

Step 3: Infuse the milk and cream

In a saucepan, combine the milk, cream, cinnamon stick, vanilla bean (split and scraped), and ground cannabis. Heat the mixture on low heat for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Be sure not to let the mixture boil. Once the mixture has infused, strain it through a cheesecloth or fine strainer and set aside.

Step 4: Make the eggnog base

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and frothy. Slowly add the infused milk and cream mixture, whisking constantly to avoid curdling the eggs. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan and heat on low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.

Step 5: Chill and add alcohol (optional)

Once the eggnog has thickened, remove it from heat and let it cool. If desired, stir in 1 cup of rum or brandy. Cover the mixture and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Step 6: Serve and enjoy!

When ready to serve, pour the chilled eggnog into glasses and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg. Enjoy your delicious and potent cannabis-infused eggnog with friends and family this holiday season. Remember to start with a small amount and wait at least an hour before consuming more to gauge the effects.

In conclusion, cannabis-infused eggnog is a delightful way to enjoy the holiday season and experience the potential benefits of cannabis. By following these simple steps, you can make your own at home and impress your guests with a festive and potent treat. As always, be safe and responsible when consuming cannabis and consult a healthcare professional before use.
