How to Make Cannabis Hot Chocolate?

Cannabis Hot Chocolate

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup water.
  • 1–2 grams cannabis.
  • Sweetener of choice.
  • 1 cup almond milk (or milk of choice).
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (regular or cannabis-infused).
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (or hot chocolate mix).
  • Optional toppings: whipped cream, marshmallows, etc.

Tools:

  • Mug.
  • Grinder.
  • Saucepan.
  • Coffee filter.
  • Spoon or whisk.

Instructions:

1. Grind the marijuana: Grind the marijuana as finely as possible to prepare it for infusion.

2. Combine ingredients in saucepan: Add the marijuana, water, milk, and coconut oil into a saucepan. The coconut oil helps the cannabinoids bind to fats for better absorption.

3. Heat gently: Place the saucepan on medium heat and let the mixture simmer gently. Avoid bringing it to a violent boil.

4. Simmer and stir: Allow the mixture to simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent the marijuana from sticking to the bottom.

5. Prepare mug: Put the cocoa powder (or hot chocolate mix) into a mug.

6. Strain mixture: Use a coffee filter to strain the cannabis mixture into the mug, removing any plant matter.

7. Mix and serve: Stir the hot chocolate thoroughly to combine the cocoa powder with the infused liquid.

8. Add toppings (optional): Top with whipped cream or other desired toppings.

9. Enjoy: Sip and relax! Remember, the effects will typically take about 45 minutes to kick in.

Tips For Better Cannabis Hot Chocolate

Here are some easy ways to make your cannabis hot chocolate extra special. You’ll turn a regular drink into something amazing that everyone will love!

  • Use Full-Fat Milk or Cream: Cannabinoids bind to fat, so higher-fat milk will enhance the infusion process.

  • Stir Frequently: Keep stirring while simmering to ensure the cannabis doesn’t stick to the bottom and burns.

  • Add Sweeteners Gradually: Some hot chocolate mixes are already sweetened, so add sweeteners like sugar or honey sparingly.

  • Infused Additions: You can also use cannabis-infused coconut oil, butter, or tinctures to enhance the potency.

Serving Suggestions

2. Dust a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top of your hot chocolate for a warm, spicy flavor.

3. Make your hot chocolate visually appealing by adding colorful sprinkles or a rim of colored sugar to the mug. This is especially fun for themed occasions.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Short text to Even the best chefs encounter a hiccup or two in the kitchen. Here’s how to troubleshoot some common issues with your cannabis buttermints:

Hot Chocolate Tastes Too Herbal

This might occur if too much cannabis is used or improperly strained. Next time, strain the milk more thoroughly and adjust the dosage.

Mixture Separates

Cannabinoid-infused liquids might separate. Whisk continuously when adding the infused milk to cocoa to maintain a consistent blend.

Burnt Flavor

If the milk mixture boiled, it might carry a scorched taste. Always simmer on low heat and monitor closely.
