Cannabis-infused Coffee Recipe - How to make this delicacy?
There is nothing more beautiful than the blend of your favourite drink with the goodness of the green world. I mean, who doesn't like to go on the highway with the delicacy of drinks. Edibles have a certain magic to it, but when you can start your day with their kick, it is something beautiful. For me, a complete canna-breakfast on some days is the best way to move forward. So if you're someone looking for an easy and amazing cannabis-infused coffee recipe, let me enlighten you.
It's not rocket science to make a cannabis coffee, and the steps are as minimal as you can imagine them to be. If you're not a morning person, you can always do the preparation bit beforehand, so you just have to do the bare minimum when you're sleepy and cranky.
Cannabis-Infused Coffee Recipe - The Preparation
Let's face it, a good edible or a good coffee needs the right amount of preparation. In this case, the preparation depends on the objective that you're trying to achieve with your coffee mug. Usually, people take coffee as a pick-me-up drink in the morning, which allows them to get off the bed and drive to work. Similarly, as a student or an artist, you may be drinking coffee at noon to accentuate the muscles of the brain and put something worthwhile on the paper.
As one coffee differs from another one, so does the cannabis strain. You canna-coffee is also decided on the objective you're trying to fulfil. If you're not aware of the difference between an Indica Strain and a Sativa One, have a look at this article. And if you're well-acquainted, you would know which one you need to have an energizing morning or a quiet, lazy afternoon.
Choose an indica-dominant strain if you are looking to have a relaxed, slow afternoon on your couch with your mug of goodness. On the other hand, if you have deadlines raging on or need a burst of creativity to complete the last piece of your art, try a bubbling Sativa that sets you on the right course. And, wait, it does not end here.
Once you decide the 'type' of the strain you'd like to pair your coffee with, it's time to move to the flavours. Each strain presents a unique mixture of flavours ranging from sweet desert-type to the dankest, sour ones. The smart way to go about your cannabis-infused coffee recipe is to first gauge the intensity at which you like your drink. And then, pair it with a strain that would either accentuate the flavour or pair well with it.
My friend introduced me to the goodness of strong-roasted coffee with the fruity flavour of Blueberry Strain, and I have never since downplayed the importance of the blending of two opposing tastes. My suggestion would be to play around with the strain flavour and your preferred coffee taste and intensity. It will allow you to truly capture the goodness of this cannabis-infused drink.
Let's now move on to the Cannabis-infused Coffee Recipe!
Cannabis-infused Coffee Recipe
What do you need?
- ½ gram of weed (Decarboxylated)
- Butter (You can use canna-butter too to have added cannabis flavour)
- Coffee (Your Choice)
- 3 cups of water
- Additional Spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, etc [Optional]
Steps to Cannabis-infused Coffee Recipe
Step 1: The first step would be to break up the bud and spread it out on a baking paper. Place it on a tray and send it into your heated oven for ___ to get decarboxylate. This is a very crucial step as you need to activate the THC & CBD content before moving forward.
Once done, move forward to the next step which involves your stove and coffee
Step 2: Once your weed is decarboxylated and cooled down, bring out your favourite grinder and shred them into smaller pieces. This helps to accelerate the process and allows marijuana to bind easily with the other contents of your coffee.
Step 3: Heat the 3 cups of water in a saucepan and allow them to come to a boil. Once the water is coming to a boil, add the butter/canna-butter to the water. This is also done to ensure that the cannabinoids are absorbed by the fat in the butter, rather than being lost to the boiling water. This step is also essential to achieve a better, more potent effect.
Step 4: After completing the above steps, add the crushed cannabis to the water, allowing it to boil for another 40 minutes. Make sure you're stirring occasionally.
Step 5: Once the long 40 minutes have passed, strain your cannabis-mixture through the strainer into a pot. Now, you simply have to make the coffee like you usually do with this cannabis-infused water instead of the usual one.
Okay, so you're done with the cannabis-infused cannabis coffee recipe, but the effect is taking some time. But let me warn you, edibles kick in slowly, but when they do, they have a more potent, higher effect. GO slow or else you'd be left feeling flabbergasted and anxious.
The best way to deal with edibles dosage is to start slow, watch your reactions and effects, and then move onto a higher dosage. Pretty Simple!
