Summer calls for frozen treats, and if you’re a fan of cannabis edibles, why not take it to the next level? Cannabis-infused ice cream popsicles are refreshing, fun to make, and an excellent way to enjoy your favorite strains.
The secret ingredient here is cannamilk. Before diving into the recipes, let’s quickly go over how to make it.
How to Make Cannamilk
You’ll need:
- 2 cups whole milk (or any milk substitute with fat content)
- 3–5 grams of decarboxylated cannabis (adjust based on your tolerance)
Steps:
- Decarboxylate your cannabis: Spread your ground cannabis on a baking sheet and bake at 240°F (115°C) for 30–40 minutes. This step activates the THC.
- Simmer with milk: Add milk to a saucepan and heat on low. Stir in the cannabis. Keep the heat gentle (never boil) and let it simmer for 30–40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Strain: Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a jar to remove the plant material.
- Cool & store: Let it cool, then refrigerate in a sealed container for up to a week.
Now that your cannamilk is ready, you can use it as the base for your ice cream popsicles.
