How to make cannabis-infused strawberry lemonade
Summer is the perfect time for refreshing drinks, and strawberry lemonade is a classic favorite. If you want to take your strawberry lemonade to the next level, why not try making a cannabis-infused version? Here is a step-by-step guide to making cannabis-infused strawberry lemonade.
Step 1: Gather your ingredients
To make cannabis-infused strawberry lemonade, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup of chopped strawberries
- 4 cups of water
- 1 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 sugar
In a small saucepan, combine the sugar 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: Blend the strawberries
In a blender, puree the chopped strawberries until smooth.
Step 5: Mix the ingredients
In a large pitcher, combine the strawberry puree, infused sugar, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir well to combine. Add the water and stir again.
Step 6: Serve and enjoy!
When ready to serve, pour the strawberry lemonade 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 strawberry lemonade is a delicious and refreshing 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 sweet and potent drink. As always, be safe and responsible when consuming cannabis and consult a healthcare professional before use. Enjoy!
