Golden Hour: Infusing Your Cozy Turmeric Latte
Golden Milk, also known as Turmeric Latte, is an Ayurvedic drink that has been cherished in India for centuries as a soothing tonic and health-boosting beverage. Combining the richness of turmeric, the warmth of spices, and the creamy goodness of milk, this drink has now taken a modern twist with a cannabis- infusion. In this recipe, we'll walk you through the steps to create a weed-infused Golden Milk that not only delights your taste buds but also offers the potential benefits of both turmeric and cannabis. (For those looking for a non-psychoactive recipe, an alternative ingredient is included.)
Ingredients:
For the Cannabis-Infused Ghee:
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1-2 grams of your favorite LEUNE Flower (adjust according to your tolerance and desired potency)
For a Non-Psychoactive Infusion:
CBD Hemp Oil: We tried One Tru Human 1000mg CBD Oil and found it had great effects – plus, no decarbing required!
For the Golden Milk:
2 cups milk (dairy or plant-based like almond, coconut, or oat milk)
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
A pinch of black pepper (increases curcumin absorption)
1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
A pinch of grated nutmeg for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the Cannabis-Infused Ghee:
Decarboxylate your cannabis by spreading it evenly on a baking sheet and baking it at 240°F (115°C) for 30-40 minutes. This process activates the THC and CBD in cannabis, making them bioavailable.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the decarboxylated cannabis and let it simmer on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. Be cautious not to let it burn or overheat; you want to infuse the butter gently.
After simmering, strain the butter through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a glass container. Allow it to cool and solidify. Your cannabis-infused ghee is ready.
Prepare the Golden Milk:
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat. Don't let it come to a boil; you just want it to be warm.
If making from scratch, add your ground turmeric, cinnamon, ginger, and a pinch of black pepper to the milk, otherwise, add your pre-made Golden Milk mix. Whisk to combine the spices.
Let the milk simmer gently for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the cannabis-infused ghee or CBD Oil, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract if using. Adjust the sweetener to your taste preferences.
Once everything is well combined and heated through, remove the saucepan from the heat.
Serve:
Pour the cannabis-infused Golden Milk into your favorite mug, or if enjoying iced, let cool and pour over ice.
Sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg on top for a fragrant garnish.
Find a cozy spot to relax, sip, and enjoy the comforting flavors and potential effects of your cannabis-infused Golden Milk.
By combining the therapeutic qualities of turmeric and the potential benefits of cannabis, you can create a soothing and delightful beverage that not only warms your soul but may also offer a sense of relaxation and wellness. Enjoy! ✨
Recipe Notes:
If you’re feeling lazy you can always grab a premade Golden Milk spice mix online or the grocery store
The potency of the cannabis-infused ghee will depend on factors like the strain of cannabis used, the ratio of cannabis to butter, and your personal tolerance. Start with a small amount and adjust as needed.
