Step-by-Step Guide to Making Cannabis-Infused Egg Nog
Step 1: Decarboxylate Your Marijuana
Decarboxylation is essential to activate THC or CBD in marijuana. Grind your cannabis and spread it on a baking sheet. Bake it in the oven at 240°F (115°C) for about 30-40 minutes.
Step 2: Infuse the Milk and Cream
Combine your milk and cream in a saucepan. Add the decarboxylated marijuana and simmer on low heat for about 45 minutes. Strain the mixture to remove plant material.
Step 3: Incorporate Cannabis Concentrate
Gently warm your cannabis concentrate to make it easier to mix. Stir it into the infused milk and cream mixture until it's completely dissolved.
Step 4: Mix Your Egg Nog
Combine the cannabis-infused milk and cream with your nonalcoholic egg nog. Add spices and sweetener to taste.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Refrigerate your cannabis-infused egg nog for at least an hour. Serve it chilled with a sprinkle of nutmeg on top.
Enjoy Responsibly
Remember, the effects of edible cannabis can be more potent and longer-lasting than other forms of consumption. Start with a small serving and wait at least an hour to understand how it affects you before consuming more.
