The only thing that can make this delicious chocolatey drink even better is by adding a little cannabis! Cozying up with a cup of cocoa can be a great way to relax from the chaos going on in the outside world. Making this cannabis infused hot cocoa only takes a few minutes and than you can spend the rest of your day sipping and enjoying the relaxing effects of this delicious drink.
How to make cannabis infused hot cocoa
You only need a few ingredients to make cannabis infused hot cocoa.
Ingredients (yields 1 serving):
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp of butter or coconut oil
- 1 cup water
- 1-2 grams of finely ground cannabis flower
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- Optional marshmallows or whipped cream for topping
Instructions:
Combine the cannabis, milk, water, and butter in a pot. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring often. Add the cocoa powder into your mug. Take your coffee filter or cheese strainer and very carefully pour the liquid into your mug. The mixture will be very hot so be careful. The filter should catch any small pieces of cannabis and prevent them from going into your drink. Once all the liquid has strained through the filter, you can throw it away. Top it with marshmallows or whipped cream. Now you have a delicious cannabis infused hot cocoa! If you want to take some of the work out, you can replace the butter or coconut oil with cannabutter, and omit the cannabis flower.
What are the effects of cannabis infused hot cocoa?
Like all edibles, this cannabis infused drink delivers relaxing and sedating effects. After drinking your hot cocoa, wait about 1-2 hours until the full effects are released. You’ll feel relaxed and lifted, and any stress you have been experiencing will seem to melt away. This is a great drink for those who have anxiety or pain, and cannabis has been shown to relieve these feelings.
