If you've ever tried a pot cookie and thought, "I could do better," we've got just the book for you. The Cannabis Kitchen Cookbook (officially out tomorrow) aims to bring weed-infused foods up to the level of your culinary talents.
But even for seasoned cannabis consumers in weed-legal states, edibles can be intimidating. Which is why the book so helpfully starts with a crash course in different strains and dosing. Then, it moves into techniques for infusing pot into everything from butter and coconut oil to milk and honey. (If you don't already know how to do a basic infusion, check out our beginner's instructions for butter and click through for a 20-minute oil).
The rest of the book's recipes are all built on these infused staples. But don't get us wrong — these aren't freshman-year-dorm-kitchen weed brownies. These are real deal gourmet treats with an extra "feel-good" kick. And going beyond the classics, there are recipes you can use for every meal of the day (but we wouldn't necessarily recommend that).
As big brunch fans, we've collected a few of the most enticing breakfast recipes. You've got the usual pancakes, waffles, and coffee. But we've swapped that go-to mimosa for a refreshing lemon and lavender Champagne cocktail.
Since all of these are pot-infused, you might want to go slow and just try one at a time — as difficult as that may be.
THC calculations for these recipes were made based on the assumption of 10 percent THC in the plant. That’s used as a standard, but your chances of growing or buying cannabis with 10 percent THC are extremely low.These calculations are for comparison purposes only. The potency of the material you use is the most important indicator of how a recipe will affect you.
