DIY Edible Recipes: 9 Tasty Cannabis Edibles To Make at Home

If you’ve ever gone beyond the ordinary and explored with your taste buds, whether it’s cooking at home or exploring a dish from another culture, then you know that delightful satisfaction of culinary exploration.

Cooking up a delectable dish is just as gratifying an experience as any food show would have you believe. But, if cannabis also happens to be your thing, then why not treat yourself with some exciting marijuana-infused edibles today!

Let’s not limit ourselves to just brownies (although, we’d be happy if they make an appearance!) – let us delve into some of the most delectable dishes your taste buds will ever encounter.

Why Cannabis Edibles?

Before we dive into the details of how to make edibles, let’s take a moment to discuss why you might want to consider incorporating them in your lifestyle.

Have you tried it all when it comes to marijuana? From blunts and oils, to vape pens and more – but nothing quite compares to the experience you get from edibles. Especially weed edibles; they provide a longer-lasting, more mellow high than any other method of intake.

Consuming a cannabis-infused edible will take longer to absorb compared to other forms, but when it does, the effects hit like no other. Additionally, because these edibles pass through your liver as opposed to regular inhalation or topical methods, you can expect an even greater potency and intensity of the experience.

Inhaling marijuana, whether smoked or vaped, is immediately absorbed by the brain – making it faster to feel its effects. Edibles on the other hand take longer as delta-9 THC must be metabolized into 11-hydroxy-THC in your liver first before giving you a quicker and more intense experience.

Taking a bit more time to enjoy an edible, as opposed to other substances, will create a much calmer and profound experience. Furthermore, cooking for yourself is not only psychologically beneficial but also cost-effective. Thus making it the perfect remedy!

The Importance of Decarboxylation

Before we jump into the delicious recipes, let’s make sure you understand this one more important step. To get the maximum potency out of your weed edibles, decarboxylating is absolutely necessary. This means that you’ll need to bake it at a temperature between 215-225 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes to an hour – trust us, it’s worth it! Otherwise, all your hard work will be in vain and won’t have much effect on your edible experience.

Tasty Edible Recipes

Cannabis connoisseurs know first-hand how it can enhance the experience of many activities, such as listening to music. We also cannot ignore that late-night craving for snacks – otherwise known as ‘the munchies’ – frequently brought on by marijuana use.

Are you familiar with the late-night snacking craving? If so, then look no further. Here are some of our favorite recipes to help you make a delicious and indulgent cannabis edible that’s sure to satisfy your cravings!

1. Cannabutter

Butter is a fantastic ingredient to start with since it can be the basis for nearly any dish. Unless you don’t eat animal products, incorporating butter into your meals is easier than you might think!

Here’s how to make it:

• Melt butter in a saucepan (add a little water to keep from burning)
• Add your ground, decarboxylated weed and simmer for 2-3 hours
• Strain the butter into a jar (for example, you can use a funnel with cheesecloth to catch the ground-up weed)
• Refrigerate jar of cannabutter!

You now have a perfect ingredient for many edible recipes!

2. Weed Bacon

Although the bacon craze may have settled down a little, its savory flavor and undeniable appeal assure that it will never truly go out of style.

Craft your own weed bacon by generously sprinkling ground decarboxylated marijuana flower on one side of each bacon slice. Then, cook at 275 degrees Fahrenheit and don’t forget to flip after approximately 10 minutes for the most succulent results!

Generously season the other side of your bacon, then continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes. As a bonus, you’ll now have cannabis-infused bacon grease that can be used in all sorts of amazing recipes!

3. Cannaoil

Incorporate cannaoil into your cooking to create a variety of delicious dishes! Here’s the simple way to do it:

• Combine an ounce of ground, decarboxylated bud to 2 cups of oil (coconut, vegetable, etc.)
• Heat for at least six hours or more without boiling
• Use some water to keep from burning
• Strain the oil from the ground-up bud

This weed-infused oil could be the perfect combination for an oil-based salad dressing.

4. Bud Brownies

Get ready to take your cannabis culinary journey to the next level with a classic favorite – bud brownies! All you need is eggs, water, and of course cannaoil (from our earlier tutorial). Simply mix together your ingredients alongside store-bought or homemade Brownie Mix. Then bake at 330°F for approximately 30 minutes on a cookie sheet. Now that’s what we call an elevated classic!

5. Marijuana Ice Cream

When you crave something cool and tasty, there’s nothing better than an ice-cold dessert. Preparing an amazing weed ice cream doesn’t require a culinary degree! Simply follow the steps below, and you’ll be able to customize your own unique flavor in no time.

• Melt about 16 ounces of heavy cream in a saucepan at about medium temperature
• Melt your cannabutter (see #1) and add sugar
• Mix together and add whatever you want (fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, etc.)
• Freeze overnight

If you make enough, the comforting indulgence of a frozen sweet treat can be yours for multiple nights in a row.

6. Cannabis Tea

Start your day off in a delightful way with the perfect cup of cannabis tea. It’s quite effortless to make – simply brew up what you like best and add about a teaspoon of cannabutter (see #1). Sweeten it with milk, honey, or sugar for an even cozier experience!

7. Weed Milk

Sauté your milk on medium-low heat using a saucepan. Then, incorporate decarboxylated cannabis grounds and simmer for around 45 minutes. After 10 minutes, take away the mixture from the stove and strain it with a strainer or cheesecloth to segregate milk from ground-up weed. Place your newly made cannabis milk in the refrigerator for later use; you now have an ideal edible accompaniment to spice up breakfast cereals!
