What’s the Buzz About Cannabis-Infused Nut Milks?

Whether you’re adding it to your morning coffee or using it as a smoothie base, these infusions provide the nutritional benefits of nuts alongside the potent effects of cannabis.
Crafting the Perfect Infusion: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Select Your Base Nut: Almonds, cashews, and hazelnuts are great choices, each offering distinct flavors.
- Soak and Blend: Soak 1 cup of your chosen nuts in water overnight. Drain and blend with 4 cups of fresh water until smooth.
- Strain: Use a nut milk bag or cheesecloth to strain the liquid, leaving you with a smooth milk.
- Infuse: Gently heat the nut milk with decarboxylated cannabis. Stir frequently over low heat for 30-45 minutes.
- Flavor: Optional additions like vanilla, cinnamon, or a sweetener can enhance the taste.
Tips for Mastering Cannabis Infusions
- Decarb Carefully: Properly decarboxylating your cannabis is key to activating THC or CBD.
- Mind the Temp: Keep the infusion below 160°F (71°C) to preserve nutrients and avoid bitterness.
- Dosage Diligence: Start with smaller batches to test potency and adjust based on desired effects.
