How to make Cannabis Infused Horchata
Horchata is a popular drink in Latin American countries that is made with rice, milk, cinnamon, and sugar. This refreshing drink can be enjoyed on its own or as a complement to spicy foods. If you want to add a little extra something to your horchata, consider making a cannabis-infused version. Here is a step-by-step guide to making cannabis-infused horchata.
Step 1: Gather your ingredients
To make cannabis-infused horchata, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup of uncooked white rice
- 4 cups of water
- 1 cup of milk (whole or your preferred dairy-free alternative)
- 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
- ½ cup of sugar
- 1-2 grams of cannabis
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
In a small saucepan, combine the milk 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 horchata
In a blender, combine the uncooked rice and water. Blend until the mixture is smooth. Pour the mixture into a pitcher and add the cinnamon, sugar, and infused milk. Stir well and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible.
Step 5: Serve and enjoy!
When ready to serve, pour the horchata over ice and enjoy. Remember to start with a small amount and wait at least an hour before consuming more to gauge the effects.
In conclusion, cannabis-infused horchata is a delicious and unique way to enjoy the benefits of cannabis. By following these simple steps, you can make your own at home and impress your friends with a refreshing and potent drink. As always, be safe and responsible when consuming cannabis and consult a healthcare professional before use. Enjoy!
