9 Steps on How to Make Cannabis Milk 

For the main event, we will now proceed to the process on how to make cannabis milk at home. The steps are pretty straight to the point that even beginners can do it at home. There are some online stores and in-store shops selling cannabis milk, but it would be better to do it on your own at home so you can weigh how potent the milk would be. Read on and follow the steps on how to make cannabis milk at home. 

Step 1: 

The first and most important step is to decarboxylate the cannabis buds. All you need to do is prep the buds first. You can use a pair of scissors or grinder to grind the buds into smaller pieces. Lay it evenly on the baking tray with a sheet of aluminum foil or parchment paper. Bake the cannabis until they have turned dark gray or light brown. Allow it to cool down before proceeding with the infusion process. 

Step 2: 

Preheat the pot or the pan for five minutes. Keep the temperature low, and don’t allow the milk to boil. After the pan is preheated, pour in the milk. Continuously whisk it. 

Step 3: 

Add the decarboxylated ground cannabis buds onto the milk and continue stirring it. The grounds may float on the milk at first, but as it heats up, it will gradually combine with the milk. Stir accordingly in a slow circular motion. 

Step 4: 

Bring the cannabis-infused milk to simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. You can already see how much the grounds have combined with the milk. Do not increase or decrease the heat. Continue mixing to prevent the grounds from sticking at the bottom of the pot. 

Step 5: 

In a large bowl, use the cheesecloth as a covering and secure it with a rubber band or tie. Make sure that the cheesecloth is securely attached and won’t fall on the bottom of the bowl. This will serve as a strainer. 

Step 6: 

Once the cannabis-infused milk is already simmering, remove the cover, and lower the temperature. Continue to mix it to remove the ones stuck on the bottom and the sides of the pan or the pot. Since the milk is simmering, it will thicken. It is up to you if you want to add more milk or just leave it that way. 

Step 7: 

After the cannabis-infused milk reached the pale yellow-green color, set it aside and allow it to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Let it cool. Additional time for infusion will heighten the taste and the potency of the milk. 

Step 8: 

After the five to ten-minute rest, stir it accordingly until the scorches are incorporated with the milk. Pour the cannabis-infused milk to the bowl with the cheesecloth slowly. This will strain the plant-based matter from the milk. To make sure that there are no more crumbs left, you can perform the straining process twice. 

Step 9: 

Now the cannabis-infused milk is ready to be served. You can drink it with ice or drink it warm. If you think the taste is kind of intense, you can add more milk. 

Note: 

The potency of the milk depends on how much cannabis buds you want to use. If you’re a beginner, weigh in how much your body can take. It would be best to start consuming in low doses first before digging into higher ones. It is a trial and error process, but it would be best to start consuming not more than a gram of cannabis buds for every liter of milk.
