Cannabis Milk

Ingredients:
2 litres of Milk (full cream or extra cream if available)
2 full cups of chopped high quality cannabis (a lot of gear).


Directions:

1. Coursley chop cannabis

2. To remove water soluble nasties that effect taste, water wash the cannabis. Add it to boiling water and boil gently for 10 minutes, strain thru cloth. Do this three times. Each time water will be less dirty and should be clear(ish) by the third wash. Squeeze as much water out of the washed cannabis as possible (let it cool down or run it under the cold tap first).

3. Place washed cannabis on a baking tray and dry in the oven at 50C. Check every 20 mins until dry then remove. You can open and close the door or turn on/off the oven if you want to be extra careful not to overheat. Alternatively place tray in a warm, dark place until dry (24-48 hrs).

4. Add about 2+half cups of milk and all of the washed, dry cannabis to a pot and boil (very, very carefully) for about an hour. Do this on lowest heat required to get the the milk moving about gently. Cover pot with lid, leaving some space for excess steam to escape. Check every 20 mins, stir and make sure its OK. At this time, add 1/4 cup of boiled water (out of the kettle) as the milk reduces. Then strain thru cloth into a container. l do this with the same cannabis and fresh milk three times to get as much good stuff out as possible. Just add each lot to the same batch. Should end up with about 1.5 litres. (Hmmm... wounder if l should just do the whole lot of milk at once. l read som place that three is the magic number in solvent based extractions and so have borrowed that idea.)

5. l like to reduce the total liquid. Place the lot in a pot. There should be about 1.5 litres and simmer over very low heat, stirring every 10 minutes. It takes about 1-2 hours to reduce it by half. Once reduced it will be quite thick and creamy in consistency. l like to get it down to about 750mls and put it into 100ml bottles which go into the freezer and one bottle in the fridge. This stuff is very strong and only need 1-2 teaspoons for a nice buzz (approx one hr to kick in and about 3 hours duration).

6. Flavouring. As is, this stuff tastes pretty bad. A teaspoon or tablespoon isnt much l suppose, but it doesnt hurt to sweeten it a bit. 2-4 tablespoons of sugar or honey mixed in whilst hot before bottling seems to do the trick. A few drops of vanilla essence and some cinnamon work nicely too. Leaving it as un-flavoured can be handy tho to avoid having too much. Its a bit too easy to have a extra when its sweet, smooth and thick.

Potency will vary depending on the amount and quality of cannabis used.

This method seems to work better than the butter and the high comes on MUCH faster. Although it cant be used in the same versatile way as butter for various cooking techniques.

Always be very careful when having a first dose. It prolly wont kill ya if you have too much but it will knock you over. Being raging bent for 2 days non-stop can get tiring, to say the least. Start with one teaspoon and see how it is after one hour. If its only a minor buzz, then up the dose to a tablespoon. Wait an hour. Take it from there. For example, one batch l made was good by the teaspoon (2tsps for a nice one, 3 or 4 to go hard). The next batch was good by the tablespoon. It can vary, a little to a lot.

l find it preferable to work out a dose that gives me a sort of mildly strong buzz with a peak that lasts about 1-2 hrs. Present batch takes about 2 tablespoons, kicks in after about an hour, peaks at the 2nd to 3rd hr, then start coming down by the 4th hr. Sometimes l will have another tablespoon (or two) after 2 hrs to keep the buzz going longer.

By the way, when first dosing its not a bad idea to check your resting heart rate to see how you respond. l find that cannabis raises it to around 90-100bpm, under normal comfortable circumstances. It gets uncomfortable for me when it gets over 110-120bpm.

each time u "water wash" your buds potency is lost as the active ingredients are water soluble...why milk...why not something that would help the taste? it does sound like the prelude to some interesting homemade canna ice cream

[pez]

The active ingredients are not water soluble. Ever hear of water curing?

This sounds like something I might have to try one day. I remember a long time ago I simmered some bud in 2% milk, and I was pretty dissapointed with the results. Maybe there was not enough fat in the milk or I didn't simmer it for long enough?

Mmmm, can any one say hot chocolate?

CRAZY STUFF.

I recently made some cannmilk. Just out in about 1 gram grinded up, and simmered it for about a half hour in some vitamin D milk. Strained it, and drank the milk, then ate the stuff that was strained. Gave me a nice body high..

[mmm420socal]

They are water soluable, but boiling it at 220 causes SOME THC loss in the vapors.

I'd just boil it with milk and use a little less weed. Boil it one time.

Either way, its good stuff.... make it like a bhang lassi...or make a milk smoothy with it, ice cream shake and milk ya know....

^^Yup, Great for when ur totally baked and wanna get that EXTRA high..

you start with two cups of ground up ganja, the end result is 750 ml of cannamilk and all you sip is a few teaspoons to get high?

.....am I reading that right?

if so I find that very hard to believe.

do the sums - two cups of ganja into 750 ml of milk and all you need is a few teaspoons of this mixture to get high?? lol..you either have the world's lowest THC tolerance or you need to rework your recipe quantities or you use really big cups!

[XxJ03YxX]

lol. btw 2 cups of ground up ganja is A LOT, or am I wrong? But hey, I guess if its made REALLY well its possible right? haha. To bad I dont got the bud to try it

[raygun]

I do this kinda .....
heavy whipping cream (the higest fat content available, THC is oil soluble and will bind to the milk fat/butter fat) in double boiler heated to 160-170 (milk burns at 180 and the flavor is greatly affected)
crushed/choped (not to fine) herb added to make the consistancy of oatmeal.
30 min simmer on the double boiler, strain and i add that to chocolate chips to make some delicious fudge or a nice creamy chocolate sause to dip fruit cookies or what ever you want.

It works great every time so far!
